--Norfolk--

With league scrimmages and camps winding down, the Norfolk Sunshine make the first transaction of the fledgling Big3 2.0 season. Norfolk adds former Boston Celtic, Jared Sullinger. Sullinger was last in the NBA in 2017 with the Toronto Raptors but has since carved out a career in Asia. Spending the last few seasons with the Shenzhen Aviators, Sullinger had been one of the CBA's best players averaging 30 points on 50% from the floor in his first two seasons. Sullinger was also the best player for Anyang KGC, winners o the 2021 Korean Basketball League championship.

Sullinger's return to professional basketball in North America with the Norfolk Sunshine was welcomed by head coach Lisa Leslie. "We're in the business of winning basketball games, and Jared will help us do that." When asked if Sullinger figures to be a starter in the first game of the year Leslie said, "We'll have to see. We liked what we saw in the workouts, but no decisions have been made yet on the starting lineup."

The Sunshine face the Waves in the league's kickoff in Oahu at the end of the month.
