Griner is expected to play her first game with the Phoenix Mercury on May 19th. The team, which she’s already been under contract in recent years, is already selling tickets for the so-called “Welcome Home Opener.”

“We will continue to use the resources of our organization to support it, both on and off the field,” Bateman said. “Anyway, it’s great that you can come back. This is a special contract signing.”
