Brittney Griner Takes Major Step Toward Playing for Team USA in 2024 Olympics

With the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris looming, Team USA could be on the verge of welcoming Brittney Griner back to the program as the Mercury star eyes a return to international competition.  

The United States women’s team announced on Thursday its roster for November’s training camp, a star-studded group that notably included three-time gold medalist Griner. Team USA is slated to hold training camp in Atlanta from Nov. 7 to 9, with exhibitions against Tennessee and Duke on tap for Nov. 5 and 12, respectively.

The nine-time All-Star’s inclusion on the depth chart marks the first time Team USA will have Griner, 33, in the fold after she was forced to miss the 2022 FIBA World Cup due to her 10-month detainment in Russia.
