Former UConn guard and two-time Olympian Sue Bird is expected to rejoin the U.S. Olympic women's basketball team on Saturday when the team is in Istanbul, Turkey for international friendlies against Croatia and Turkey as well as a couple of practices before heading to London.

Bird left the team during the recent training camp in Washington, D.C. following the death of her stepfather Dennis Burden.
