Tina Charles is back where it all started. This offseason, the veteran big signed with the Connecticut Sun, returning to the team that drafted her with the No. 1 overall pick back in 2010. If this is the end of the line for Charles, it’s fitting that it’s with the team that originally launched her pro career.

Last season, Charles played for the Atlanta Dream and showed that even though she’s in her late 30s now, the former MVP can still make huge plays. Charles averaged 14.9 points per game for the Dream while pulling down 9.6 rebounds, her highest total since 2021, when she finished fifth in MVP voting.
Charles isn’t the dominant force she was early in her career, but she’ll have a chance to post big numbers in 2025 on a Connecticut team that lacks much veteran talent. Charles might not hit 20 points per game, but she should score in the high teens most nights and will be a focal point of this Sun team.
