The seven-time All-Star, who missed the entire 2022 season, finished with 10 points and three rebounds in a WNBA preseason game.
PHOENIX — Brittney Griner strolled down the sideline about 1 1/2 hours before the Phoenix Mercury played Friday night, giving hugs and high-fiving her teammates, coaches and opposing players.
“Hearing the national anthem, it definitely hit different,” Griner said. “It’s like when you go for the Olympics, you’re sitting there, about to get gold put on your neck, the flags are going up and the anthem is playing, it just hits different.Mercury coach Vanessa Nygaard said the anthem and introductions were emotional for the entire team.
She even had a cameo with the medical staff in the third quarter. Teammate Sophie Cunningham went down with a knee injury and Griner helped carry her off the court so she didn’t have to put weight on her leg.
