Tina Charles is going back to Connecticut. The free agent center signed a one-year deal with the Sun on Sunday. Charles was drafted by the Sun with the No. 1 pick in 2010 before getting traded to New York in 2014. She was the league's MVP in 2012 and Rookie of the Year. The 36-year-old played last season with Atlanta, averaging 14.9 points and 9.6 rebounds. She's the league's all-time rebounding leader and second all-time in scoring. Charles will join Marina Mabrey and Natasha Cloud as the core of the team. The Sun lost all five starters from last season's squad through free agency or trades.
