Brittney Griner

Welcome back, Brittney Griner. Playing in her highly-anticipated first WNBA game after missing the entire 2022 campaign, the eight-time All-Star showed little signs of rust in the face of unprecedented adversity as she corralled a pass from Diana Taurasi and buried the first shot she took against the Los Angeles Sparks without hesitation. The veteran Phoenix Mercury center connected on 7 of 9 shots for a team-high 18 points and also mixed in six rebounds, two assists and four blocks in 25 productive minutes on May 19, 2023.
