WNBA star Brittney Griner spoke about ex-lowa women’s basketball guard Caitlin Clark in a new interview with People Magazine released nearly a week before the former Hawkeye’s first regular season with the Indiana Fever begins.
Griner was arrested when cannabis oil was found in her luggage, something she says she accidentally packed. She was sentenced to піnе years in prison.
Griner spoke to People about her memoir and also commented on Clark, who was the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA draft.
The “hype” Clark and others have is “amazing for the league,” Griner told the publication.
She spoke about the difference between college and professional basketball, recalling her own transition, and said that in the latter, rookies are “going up against grown women.”
“This is their livelihood,” she said of players in the WNBA.
She added that while there will be some growing pains for Clark, “she’ll be fine.” J
Who does Brittney Griner play for? The Phoenix Mercury resigned Griner in April. The nine-time WNBA All-Star enters her 11th season with the team, according to the Mercury’s αππουncement.
