Brittney Griner has signed a one-year deal with the Atlanta Dream, ending her 11-year career with the Phoenix Mercury. Griner, a 10-time All-Star, and 2014 champion averaged 17.8 points last season and leaves as the franchise leader in multiple statistical categories. The decision was influenced by the team and her family. Griner's departure marks a pivotal change for the Mercury, which recently acquired Alyssa Thomas from the Sun, and it remains uncertain if fellow star Diana Taurasi will return for another season.
