All eyes will be on Mercury star Brittney Griner as the WNBA season begins.
The former No. 1 overall pick made international headlines after spending 10 months in the Russian prison system, and her return to the U.S. in December was a relief for her teammates and fans as well as the basketball community. Now, Griner is ready to get back to basketball.
The Mercury have welcomed her back with open arms, and her return is expected to be a boost both on the court and in the locker room. A seven-time all-star, Griner is hoping to make up for lost time and pick up where she left off.
