SEATTLE (AP) — Four-time WNBA champion Sue Bird has re-signed with the Seattle Storm for what will be her 20th season with the team. Bird’s signing has been expected all offseason but seemed to be delayed while the team figured out the rest of its roster. The 11-time All-Star has spent her entire WNBA career with the Storm after being the No. 1 pick by the franchise in 2002. The 40-year-old Bird is coming off another championship season after Seattle won its fourth title playing in the WNBA bubble in Florida.
