Brittney Griner Will Represent Team USA At The 2024 Summer Olympic Games

Brittney Griner was one of the WNBA stars chosen to represent Team USA at the upcoming Olympic Games in France.

The roster reveal has caused some backlash, as Caitlin Clark was not included. But Brittney is happy to be part of the team and discussed the opportunity at a recent press conference.

“You’re representing your country,” she told reporters. “You’re on the highest stage. It doesn’t get any higher than that. … Anytime we get to put on the red, white, and blue, USA across our chest, you know we’re gonna get every country’s best shot. … You’re just playing for so much more. I can’t wait to go.”
