Where is sue bird now

The Seattle Storm point guard has not yet officially decided whether she'll retire this offseason. She said it's "tempting" to play one more season at Seattle's brand new Climate Pledge Arena. Over 3 Million people read Morning Brew, you should too. Loading Something is loading. Email address. Sue is the ultimate professional. Now she has eight months to think about does she want to play again. That's a long time to think about do you want to do everything it takes to get back on the court.

And at our age, whatever we used to do, it's times So that's a decision she'll make. Bird has talked in the past about not wanting to end her career having played in an alternate arena, Angel of the Winds in Everett, Washington. That's where the Storm had home games this season, as the finishing touches were put on the refurbished Climate Pledge Arena, formerly known as KeyArena in Seattle.

That's the arena where Bird has played most of her home games. She also played the last few weeks without Storm star Breanna Stewart, who suffered a foot injury on Sept. With Stewart out the entire season due to an Achilles injury, Seattle also lost in the second round. Bird also expressed Sunday something she has said before: She wishes the WNBA playoffs did not have single-elimination playoff games for the first two rounds, a system the league went to in She would prefer a return to having teams play series for every round, which is the consensus among all WNBA players and coaches.

Many think the WNBA will go back to that, maybe as early as next year. Whether all those things are enough to sway Bird into staying at least one more year, as the Storm fans chanted for her to do postgame Sunday, remains to be seen.

I have no purpose. Bird already is a lock to be a Hall of Famer, having played more games regular season, 54 postseason than anyone in WNBA history. It's my journey. They also have shown their support for causes like Black Lives Matter, voting rights, women's rights, and pay equity for the U.

But she did. Bird, 40, and Rapinoe, 36, are now both gearing up for the Tokyo Olympics as part of the dominant U. Rapinoe is looking to lead the soccer team to its fifth Olympic gold medal and first since , while Bird is aiming for history on the basketball court.

Whether Bird is going to be a part of that remains to be seen, but it's clear from her comments on Monday that she's at least considering another season. WNBA free agency officially begins on Feb. If Bird does sign on for one more year, there's no question it will be with the Storm. By Jack Maloney. Oct 26, at am ET 2 min read. Getty Images. See All Newsletters.
