The Connecticut Sun announced their signing of Joyner Holmes for the remainder of the season via Twitter on Thursday after her impact on the court has been more noticeable.
The Sun signed the forward and Jazmine Jones to seven-day contracts July 3 after they both were released June 24. Over the month of July, the Sun must’ve liked what they saw from Holmes.
The 6-foot-3 forward has been earning more minutes as of late, averaging 7.5 per game this season. She also is averaging 2.1 points and 1.8 rebounds in her third WNBA campaign.
Holmes came up with a big block in Tuesday’s win over the New York Liberty. The impressive play helped with the team’s momentum.
Some Sun fans are excited to have the UT Austin alum on board for the rest of the season, commenting on the team’s Twitter post about the signing.
All that’s left to do is wait and see how the final few weeks of the season pan out for Holmes and the Sun overall.
