Eight-time WNBA All-Star and three-time Olympian Tina Charles signed a one-year deal with the Connecticut Sun as a free agent Sunday. With the move, Charles returns to the franchise that drafted her No.

The Connecticut Sun landed their first free agent addition of the 2025 offseason on Sunday, signing eight-time WNBA All-Star and UConn women’s basketball legend Tina Charles to a one-year contract. Charles returns to Connecticut after she began her career with the Sun as the franchise’s No.

Charles, 36, spent the first four years of her career with the Sun, who selected her No. 1 overall in the 2010 draft out of UConn. She has since become the WNBA's all-time leading rebounder.
