The Sparks are reportedly finalizing a deal to hire away Sun coach Curt Miller, according to Chris Haynes and Cassandra Negley of Yahoo Sports.
The two-time WNBA Coach of the Year recently led the Sun to their second Finals appearance in four years this season before losing to the eventual champion Aces, 3–1, in the best-of-five championship series. Despite a season filled with adversity, Miller guided the Sun to a 25–11 mark, third best in the WNBA.
Miller, who joined Connecticut in 2016, served as the franchise’s head coach and general manager after previously serving as an assistant with the Sparks in ’15.
