Nine-time WNBA All-Star star Brittney Griner made her season debut for the Phoenix Mercury on Friday night against the Minnesota Lynx.
Griner fractured her toe in the preseason, which sidelined her for the past month.
Mercury coach Nate Tibbetts told reporters this week that after going through return-to-play protocols over the past 7 to 10 days, Griner practiced for the first time Thursday. She was on a minutes restriction vs. the Lynx.
With Rebecca Allen (concussion) also back on the floor for Phoenix after missing the past few weeks, Friday marked the first time the Mercury will be at full strength this season.
