Brittney Griner is heading back to the basketball court. The 32-year-old athlete, who was famously held in a Russian jail for 10 months for drug possession charges a year ago, has inked a new deal with the WNBA, via Deadline. Brittney signed a one-year deal with the Phoenix Mercury, according to AP.
