Van Lith will join LA Sparks second overall pick Cameron Brink, former Tennessee star Cierra Burdick and the Atlanta Dream’s Rhyne Howard on the team. Brink, Burdick and Van Lith took gold at the 2023 FIBA 3×3 World Cup — where Brink brought home MVP honors.
The team will be coached by Connecticut Sun president Jennifer Rizzotti and assisted by Rhode Island HC Tammi Reiss.
