The vice president commended the Aces for speaking out in support of Griner, the star center of the league's Phoenix Mercury, who wasin February 2022 after authorities at an airport near Moscow said they found vape cartridges that allegedly contained oil derived from cannabis in her luggage. Griner faced a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison if convicted.
Aces players also lead in the fight for broader rights and freedoms, including the right to vote and for LGBTQ individuals and their families, Harris said. The WNBA title is the first for the Aces, which is one of the league's original eight franchises. The team began as the Utah Starzz from 1997-2002, then relocated to San Antonio as the Silver Stars from 2003-2017. The team moved to Las Vegas before the 2018 season.
