Baylor’s Brittney Griner Focused On Senior Season

WACO, TX — Brittney Griner watched the Olympics and wished she was there. Thanks to the WNBA draft lottery, she might know where she’s going.

Before Rio in 2016, or even getting started in the pros next summer, there is still the senior season with the Lady Bears for the fun-loving All-American who can dunk and broke her right wrist in a longboarding accident this summer.

Baylor is coming off the NCAA’s first 40-win season and returns every starter from its undefeated national championship team. The accident on the elongated skateboard came after Griner had already removed herself from consideration for the 12th and final spot on the U.S. women’s basketball team that won gold at the London Olympics. She almost certainly would have been part of the team, but didn’t participate because of summer school classes she had to take and the ill health of her mother.

“She’s OK. Ups and downs, but she’s all right,” Griner said, but not wanting to elaborate.
