WNBA star Brittney Griner intends to stand for the national anthem during the upcoming season after spending nearly 10 months in a Russian prison, according to her agent.
Griner made headlines last week when she returned to game action with the Phoenix Mercury for the first time since the 2021 WNBA Finals.
Prior to the preseason tilt, Griner and her teammates stood for the national anthem, with Griner saying the anthem "definitely hit different" following her incarceration in Russia.
