Tina Charles, the WNBA's Most Valuable Player in 2012 and eight-time All-Star, signed a one-year deal with the Connecticut Sun on Sunday.

ESPN's Alexa Philippou was the first to report the deal, which reunites Charles and the Sun. Connecticut drafted Charles No. 1 overall in 2010 and she spent the first four seasons of her career with the team, including her MVP campaign in 2012. Charles also won the league's Rookie of the Year award with Connecticut after the 2010 season.
