Brittney Griner caught a flight to Washington, D.C., to attend the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, landed back at Phoenix around 4 a.m. and was up five hours later for the start of training camp.
After going through her first workout with the Phoenix Mercury, she hopped on a plane to New York to attend the Met Gala, schmoozing with Usher, Patrick Mahomes and Dwyane Wade before returning to the desert. Griner didn’t get back until after 1 a.m. and was back on the court with the Mercury later that morning.
Griner’s return to the Mercury rekindles hope the franchise can make another run to the WNBA Finals. The extra exposure from being detained in Russia for having vape cartridges containing cannabis oil in her luggage has given Griner a platform to advocate for other Americans being detained abroad. Following her detainment in Russia, Griner has taken an active role in trying to help bring home other Americans detained in foreign countries.
Griner took small steps after her release, reacclimating herself to life at home while rebuilding her body so it will be ready to play basketball again.
