Brittney Griner has been playing in the WNBA since 2013.
The former Baylor Bears great, a 10-time WNBA All-Star, is likely going to be playing for several more years. The WNBA and the WNBA Players’ Association recently announced some big news, after all, agreeing to a new Collective Bargaining Agreement.

“We’re just really grateful to be able to come to a deal,” WNBPA president Nneka Ogwumike said. “We’re proud of ourselves. And quite frankly, we always told you all we were going to stand on business, and that’s what this looks like.”
But Griner is already thinking about the next step in her career.

“March is here ‼️ had to drop some gems on my @baylorwbb squad. Coach B got a nice lil ring to it 👁️👁️,” she wrote.
She added: “Coach B.”
It’ll be cool to see if Griner is able to get into coaching whenever she decides to retire from basketball.
