Iffy for Saturday Griner (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Liberty.

Leads team with eight boards Griner registered seven points (3-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt), eight rebounds and two blocks in 19 minutes during Thursday's 104-69 loss to the Dream.

Impact Griner appeared a bit rusty on the offensive end in her second game back from a knee injury. However, it's worth noting that she saw a decrease in opportunities due to a lopsided score and still approached a double-double despite being kept under 20 minutes. Griner also managed to remain effective at the rim despite her shooting struggles, and she's now swatted a pair of shots in four of her last five appearances.

Iffy for Thursday Griner (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against Atlanta.

Impact The veteran center has been a mainstay on the Sun's injury report this season. If Griner is unable to play Thursday, Olivia Nelson-Ododa and Aaliyah Edwards would likely be more involved in the frontcourt.

Impact Griner was cleared to return Friday from a four-game absence due to a left knee injury. She didn't put together the most productive stat line, failing to score in double digits for the first time since June 17 against the Mystics, though she contributed defensively by logging at least two blocks for the 11th time this season. Griner is averaging 13.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.8 blocks over 25.7 minutes per game in 2026.
