www.tmz.comHere’s a quick update on Brittney Griner’s deal status.
The most recent widely reported development: Brittney Griner agreed to a one-year deal with the Atlanta Dream in January 2025, after the Mercury trades that season suggested she wouldn’t return to Phoenix [source coverage from that period]. This move positioned her to re-enter free agency the following year when the new CBA was expected to boost salaries [source coverage from that period].
Context: Griner had previously returned to professional play after her Russian detainment and release, re-signing with the Mercury on a one-year deal in 2023 before the 2024 season brought changes in her team situation [source coverage from that period].
