Kennedy Burke, a guard-forward for the Sun, has signed a one-year, $1 million deal with the team. She joins Brittney Griner as a veteran leader for the team in its final season in Connecticut before the franchise moves to Houston. Despite adjusting to the slower pace of life in small-town Connecticut, Burke is enjoying her transition. The team's coach, Rachid Meziane, also played a significant role in recruiting Burke. Despite playing her former team in an exhibition game against them, Burke said it was a great feeling seeing familiar faces.
