Phoenix Mercury
Brittney Griner is picking up right where she left off with the Phoenix Mercury … smiling from ear-to-ear as she donned the team’s uniform once again for a photoshoot.
The Mercury posted a behind-the-scenes look at Griner posing for the cam on Friday … just days after the WNBA star signed a one-year deal to solidify her return to Phoenix.
In the video shared on the Mercury’s official Twitter account, BG was her normal charismatic self … showing off her dribbling skills and grinning as the cameras fired away.
Griner — who hasn’t played a WNBA game since 2021 — gave Mercury fans a taste of what they can expect once she hits the court by showing off some behind-the-back passes.

As we previously reported, 32-year-old Griner got back into the swing of things when she showed up to a shoot-around session earlier this week … and she looked thrilled throughout the workout.
The Mercury have embraced Griner amid her return to the U.S. and the team … after all, when last seen, BG was one of the most dominant forces in the WNBA.
Griner — a 6-time All-Star and 2-time Olympic Gold medalist — led the Mercury to a WNBA championship in 2014 … and she averaged a career-high 21.9 points per game in 2017.
The Mercury’s first game is on May 19 against the Sparks in Los Angeles … and it promises to be an emotional moment once Griner steps foot on the floor.
