SEATTLE -- Seattle Storm superstar Sue Bird will miss the entire 2019 season after a successful knee surgery.

Bird said she is disappointed to miss this season but looks forward to playing in 2020.

“While it has been difficult not to be on the court with my teammates, I am very proud of what they have accomplished this season,” said Bird. “I look forward to suiting up for the Storm in 2020."

Bird will continue to support her teammates while she goes through rehabilitation here in Seattle.
