The finality of Sue Bird’s retirement will be felt when the WNBA season tips off in four months and the Storm chart a new path without the greatest point guard in franchise history.
Ceremonially, the Storm will say goodbye and honor Bird when they retire her No. 10 jersey at Climate Pledge Arena on June 11 during a game against the Washington Mystics.
Bird’s former teammate Lauren Jackson is the only other Storm player whose jersey is retired.
