Brionna Jones to Join Atlanta Dream in Major Free Agency Move

The three-time All-Star leaves the Connecticut Sun after seven seasons to team up with Brittney Griner and bolster Atlanta's playoff ambitions.

Brionna Jones, a three-time WNBA All-Star, is set to sign with the Atlanta Dream after spending her entire career with the Connecticut Sun since being drafted in 2017.
Jones will join a revamped Dream roster featuring 10-time All-Star Brittney Griner, 2022 No. 1 overall pick Rhyne Howard, Allisha Gray, and Jordin Canada.
Atlanta's front office is signaling a strong push for playoff success after consecutive first-round exits, hiring analytics-focused coach Karl Smesko and securing two high-profile free agents.
Jones, a former Sixth Player of the Year and Most Improved Player, averaged 13.7 points and 5.5 rebounds in 2024 after recovering from a 2023 Achilles tear.
The Connecticut Sun face a significant roster overhaul, losing Jones, Alyssa Thomas in a trade to Phoenix, and potentially DeWanna Bonner, who is an unrestricted free agent.
