It’s been roughly over three months since Russia detained Brittney Griner within its borders. While some positive developments have started to trickle out of late, there’s still no definitive end in sight to the scary, dangerous situation.
As one of the WNBA’s more prominent stars, the league and its players have understandably shown a lot of concern while missing Griner, the teammate, Griner the competitor, and Griner the friend.
To honor Griner in her ongoing absence, the league recently revealed that they would display a prominent “BG42” logo on all 12 teams’ courts. And as Griner’s current team, the Mercury had first dibs at revealing the process behind the graphic and the graphic itself.
