To say the Phoenix Mercury center and Houston native's journey has been complicated would be an understatement.The early returns suggest that the 31-year-old remains a formidable talent, even if she's understandably a bit rusty. She scored 10 points and grabbed three rebounds in her only preseason game against the Los Angeles Sparks on Friday, flashing her considerable skills but also showing there's some work to do.The WNBA regular season begins Friday.

Without Griner last season, Phoenix finished with a 15-21 record.
