SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — WNBA star Brittney Griner attended the WM Phoenix Open golf tournament on Saturday in her second public appearance since she was released from a Russian prison.
Griner was part of a crowd of some 200,000 fans at the tournament, watching the action from the stadium’s 16th hole.
Last month, in his first appearance, Griner was at the Martin Luther King Jr. march in downtown Phoenix.
Griner skips USA Basketball training camp in Minnesota so he can be with his wife and recover from his jail time in Russia. She was traded in a dramatic prisoner exchange in December.
Griner has said she will play for the Phoenix Mercury again this season, though she is still an unsigned free agent. She has not spoken about her international future and her possible participation in next year’s Olympic Games in Paris.
