Storm sign Sue Bird to extension
SEATTLE (AP) - Sue Bird has agreed to a multiyear contract extension to stay with the Seattle Storm, keeping the All-Star guard with the only WNBA team she's played for.
Terms of the deal were not released. The extension was announced right before Seattle played its regular season home finale against Phoenix on Thursday night.
The former UConn star was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2002 draft and helped lead Seattle to the 2004 WNBA title. She's been a six-time All-Star selection and is the Storm's all-time leader in assists.
Bird recently became the third player in WNBA history to record 3,000 career points and 1,000 career assists.
