The Atlanta Dream announced Thursday the team signed Minnesota Lynx guard Renee Montgomery to a multi-year contract.

Montgomery, a two-time WNBA Champion who spent the last two seasons with the Lynx, averaged eight points and 3.4 assists last season.

Because of Montgomery’s experience as a veteran and in championship scenarios, Collen said she immediately targeted Montgomery when she was hired as Dream head coach in October.

The full story of Montgomery's signing can be read on myAJC.com.
