WNBA veteran Brittney Griner has been playing in the league for a long time now.
And while she’s done all she can to help grow the league through her on-court play, nothing could have prepared her for the impact rookies like Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese have made since joining the WNBA.
Clark, the No. 1 pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft who now plays for the Indiana Fever, has single-handedly made life for all WNBA players better. No team flies commercial flights anymore. Safety concerns, particularly surrounding Clark, forced the WNBA to take action and fly charter. Not only that, but Clark is selling out arenas almost every night she plays.
Some veterans have had a tough time with all the changes. Clark being the one to make an impact can be a tough thing to accept.
However, Griner is simply thankful for the impact she’s made and how it’s helping to grow the WNBA as a whole.
