The Mercury open their season at home that night against the Las Vegas Aces. All 12 WNBA teams will have the decal on their home courts starting with the season opener Friday night.

The decal will feature Griner’s initials as well as her No. I coached her for a long time and she’s like family. I was trying to message with her family yesterday. “There’s not a day I don’t think about BG. Hopefully she’ll be out sooner than later.”īrondello was happy with the league’s creation of the decal.

I can’t imagine what she’s going through. “They had that prisoner release last week that gave me hope that BG would be one of the next ones out. I’m glad that they are trying to do something,” said New York Liberty coach Sandy Brondello, who previously coached Griner in Phoenix. The Biden administration determined that Griner is being wrongfully detained in Russia, meaning the United States will more aggressively work to secure her release even as the legal case against her plays out, the State Department said Tuesday. Russian authorities said a search of her luggage revealed vape cartridges that allegedly contained oil derived from cannabis, which could carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. The All-Star center remains in Russia after being detained following her arrival at a Moscow airport on Feb. The WNBA will honor Phoenix star Brittney Griner with a floor decal and allow the Mercury to pay her without it counting against the team’s salary cap, the league announced Tuesday.
