Brittney Griner To Test The Market For Then First Time In Career As Wnba Free Agency Opens

Brittney Griner is testing the free agent market for the first time in her career.

The All-Star center is taking meetings starting Tuesday with multiple teams, according to her agent. WNBA executives were in Miami for the opening of Unrivaled to talk with Griner and other free agents.

Griner has been a free agent before, but always re-signed with the Phoenix Mercury since she was first drafted by the franchise in 2013 as the No. 1 pick.

"I want to show off my skills for free agency," Griner said of playing in the new league, which seems to be dominated more by guards and wings then post players.

Unrivaled has some of the top unrestricted free agents, like Griner and Courtney Vandersloot, as well as a few players who most likely will play on other teams next season despite being given the franchise tag by their current WNBA squad.
