Brittney Griner didn't know what to expect when the WNBA season began, how she would respond after the trauma she experienced of being incarcerated in Russia that also forced her off the court for many months.
"I just wanted to get out there and try my best not to get hurt, give it the best I've got," Griner said. "I was a little shocked, actually, how it was once I got on the court, so I'm happy with it.
The WNBA kept Griner top of mind while she was being held in Russia, putting her initials and jersey No. 42 on each court. She also was made an honorary starter at last year's All-Star Game. Griner said she not only didn't think she would be at this year's All-Star Game, but that she would still be stuck in Russia.
