Brittney Griner Dunks In First Workout Since Release, WNBA Future Uncertain
Brittney Griner is back in the U.S. — and back dominating on a basketball court — dunking in her first workout since her release from Russia … though her WNBA future still remains uncertain.
Griner’s agent, Lindsay Kagawa Colas, told ESPN that the 32-year-old Phoenix Mercury superstar grabbed a pair of Chuck Taylor sneakers and hit a court in San Antonio on Sunday for her first hoops sesh in nearly 10 months.
The workout was said to be “light” — though it clearly went well … considering she was still able to rattle the rim.
Colas, though, said Griner has yet to reveal her intentions about her basketball career going forward — just days after she was officially traded for Viktor Bout in a prisoner swap with Russia.

“If she wants to play, it will be for her to share,” Colas said. “She has the holidays to rest and decide what’s next without any pressure. She’s doing really, really well. She seems to have endured this in pretty incredible ways.”
