SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle Storm have signed five-time first-team all-WNBA center Tina Charles for the rest of the season. The signing comes three days after she was let go by Phoenix. The 33-year-old Charles was averaging 17.3 points and 7.3 rebounds in 16 games with the Mercury before the sides settled on a contract divorce last weekend. She’s expected to make her debut with Seattle on Wednesday night against Las Vegas. Charles was the league MVP in 2012. She averaged a career-high 23.4 points last season with Washington. She had signed with Phoenix in February.
