Brittney Griner, a ten-time All-Star in the WNBA, has found renewed enthusiasm for basketball after a surprising move to the Atlanta Dream, as announced on Friday.

Griner, known for her long-standing career with the Mercury, signed a game-changing one-year contract with the Dream, marking a pivotal turning point in her career. The move, amid a season rich in major acquisitions, was a major shift after her storied tenure in Phoenix.

Under new coaching, Griner feels empowered and is reinvigorating her gameplay, as seen in a recent pre-season victory.
