Brittney Griner returns to Phoenix Mercury on 1-year deal

PHOENIX -- After being detained for 10 months in Russia, Brittney Griner fulfilled the promise she made to play for the Phoenix Mercury again in the 2023 season.
Griner, a 32-year-old free agent, signed a one-year, $165,100 contract with the Mercury on Saturday, a source confirmed to ESPN. She'll return to the team that drafted her first overall in 2013 for a 10th season.
The last time Griner suited up for the Mercury was in 2021, when she led them on an unexpected run to the WNBA Finals, which Phoenix lost to the Chicago Sky. She missed the 2022 WNBA season while in detention in Russia.
Griner had one of the best years of her career in 2021, averaging 20.5 points, 1.9 blocks, 2.7 assists, and career-highs with 9.5 rebounds per game, 2.4 offensive rebounds and a .846 free throw percentage.
Griner, who also played pro basketball in Russia, was arrested at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport in February 2022 after Russian authorities said she was carrying vape canisters with cannabis oil. The U.S. State Department had declared Griner to be "wrongfully detained."
After months of strained negotiations, and an extraordinarily rare public revelation by the President Joe Biden's administration that it had made a "substantial proposal'' to get home Griner and another detained American, Paul Whelan, Griner's case resolved on Dec. 8 with a prisoner swap in which the WNBA star was exchanged in the United Arab Emirates for Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout.
Griner wrote in an Instagram post on Dec. 16 that she intended to play for the Mercury this season.
The Mercury open the season on the road against the Los Angeles Sparks on May 19. The team's first home game is two days later against the Chicago Sky.
News of Griner's deal with Phoenix was first reported by Her Hoop Stats.

I mean she just has to be smart about it. Pretty easy to avoid any authoritarian countries that are at war and consider the US to be an enemy. She can safely go to any NATO country and earn extra money.

For all those people who want to protect women's sports from trannies should also be supporting it so these athletes don't have to play in hostile dictatorships to support themselves.

Just a thought.

They get overpaid the for fair share of the NBA subsidized revenue they bring in. They don’t even play in the same arenas as their male counterparts but still want the same pay. These chics need a lesson in economics. Do like everyone else and behave themselves when they work overseas.

I think them Russians clapped her cheeks when she was locked up, and part of her agreement was to never talk about it, because something ain't right about her since she got back.

Probably writing a book or making a movie about it.
