The Connecticut Sun announced the signing of former Duke forward Mistie (Bass) Mims.

The 21st pick in the 2006 WNBA draft, Mims played in 78 games for the Houston Comets from 2006-2008. She spent the 2009 and 2010 seasons with Chicago. Mims started 25 of the 42 games she played in for the Sky, averaging 5.1 points and 3.8 rebounds per game. During the 2010 season, Mims scored in double figures in five games and two of them came against Connecticut.

Mims is playing for Challes-Les-Eaux in the French league and is leading the league with a 19.7 scoring average.

Mims, signed to a two-year contract, is expected to compete for a reserve post role as former UConn forward/center Jessica Moore is currently working her way back from a knee injury and has not been signed as of yet for the upcoming season.
