Brittney Griner

Brittney Griner snapped the Phoenix Mercury out of a tough losing stretch with some signature fireworks. The nine-time All-Star got behind Los Angeles Sparks defender Azura Stevens in the paint and threw down the 25th dunk of her career — 18 have come in the regular season, with another two in the playoffs and five more in All-Star Games. Griner’s one-handed slam gave a much-needed lift to the Mercury and her game-high 29 points and 11 rebounds helped contribute to the squad’s 78-72 win on July 9, 2023.
