Hours after agreeing to a “contract divorce” with the Mercury, Tina Charles is set to move on to a potentially impactful role with a top-tier title contender.
Charles, 33, intends to sign a deal with the Storm, according to multiple reports. The news was later confirmed by Em Adler of The Next Hoops.
A marquee free-agent signing by Phoenix this past February, Charles averaged 17.3 points and 7.3 rebounds per game in a major role for the struggling Mercury. The club, playing without star Brittney Griner who remains detained overseas, got out to a 6–12 start behind Charles, Skylar Diggins and future Hall of Famer Diana Taurasi.
