Four-time WNBA champion Sue Bird has agreed in principle to re-sign with the Seattle Storm, according to Yahoo Sports' Chris Haynes.
Up to this point, Bird had spent the entirety of her nearly two-decade-long WNBA career with Seattle. The Storm won last year's WNBA finals in three games, defeating the Las Vegas Aces.
In Game 1 of the finals, Bird recorded a finals-record 16 assists and she later notched a 16-point, 10-assist double-double in Game 2.
“We seem like we just get easier shots,” head coach Gary Kloppenburg said prior to the series, referring to Bird’s impact.
