DENVER (AP) — WNBA champion and Seattle Storm player Sue Bird is joining the NBS’s Denver Nuggets’ front office while continuing her own professional basketball career.
Tim Connelly, the Nuggets’ president of basketball operations, said Bird’s new title is basketball operations associate.
Bird recently completed her 16th season in the WNBA with her third championship, all with the Seattle Storm.
The New York native was the first overall draft pick in 2002 out of UConn, where she won two national titles.
