WNBA legend Sue Bird announced Thursday she’s retiring after the 2022 season.
Sue Bird of the Seattle Storm reacts during the second half against the Los Angeles Sparks last month.In February, Bird alluded to 2022 being her final season but told reporters in a press conference announcing her re-signing with the Storm that she didn’t want a farewell tour.
“I think it’s assumed to be my last and I do believe all arrows are pointing in that direction,” Bird said. “For some reason, I don’t necessarily want to operate in that space because I think for my personality … it doesn’t necessarily fit for every game I go into to be, ‘This is Sue’s last game in this city. This is her last time putting her shoe on.’ I don’t really operate in that space well, but I understand that comes with it.
The Storm have 22 games left in the regular season and are second in the Western Conference at 9-5, three games back of the first-place Las Vegas Aces. Bird will presumably play her final New York game Sunday morning when the Storm take on the Liberty at Barclays Center.
