Brittney Griner is missed at USA Basketball camp, Diana Taurasi said — but she’s not forgotten.
Taurasi said Griner is “a work in progress” when it comes to returning to normal life but seemed in awe of Griner’s general attitude.
USA Basketball coach Cheryl Reeve told reporters on Monday that while she hasn’t personally talked to Griner, USAB has made it clear that the two-time Olympian can take all the time she needs before returning to the court. Griner has previously said she intends to play for the Mercury during the 2023 season.
“When I heard she wanted to play, it honestly didn’t even surprise me,” said Turner, who added that she hasn’t seen Griner in person but texts with her regularly. “BG is such a competitor and she loves the game of basketball. It might have been hard for her to just walk away from it. I’m excited she’s going to give it a try and I’m sure she’s going to be really successful again.”Should she decide she wants to go to Paris, Griner would almost certainly be on the 2024 Olympic roster.
