Brittney Griner has reacted to the drama sweeping across the WNBA due to the fresh rookie class.

The Caitlin Clark show

While the likes of Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese have changed the landscape of women’s basketball just a few games into their professional careers, they aren’t very popular among some veteran players.

Clark, the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s WNBA Draft, was already one of the biggest names in basketball as a college player. And her fame continues to spread despite the tough start to her stint with the Indiana Fever. Reese, while not as popular, isn’t far behind.

Griner is quite accustomed to stardom. She won a national title in 2012 before capturing a WNBA title two years into her professional career.

The veteran center is out with a toe injury and hasn’t played this season. While she hasn’t seen any action in 2024, Brittney Griner is proud of the impact of Clark, Reese, and other rookies on the WNBA and women’s sports in general.

“I think it’s amazing for women’s sports, with these rookies — I think it’s amazing,” she told TMZ.

The Rookies Haven’t Gotten Off To The Best Start

Of course, the ride hasn’t been smooth for either of the aforementioned rooks. Clark is 2-9 to start the season and getting rough treatment from her counterparts.

Reese has gotten off to a better start with the Chicago Sky but has fielded some criticism recently after she was caught celebrating her teammate’s hard foul on Clark during their first game against each other over the weekend.

Meanwhile, the Sky and Fever are scheduled to play each other twice again this month.

Former New York Giants star Michael Strahan is keeping up appearances and putting on a brave face amid what has to be one of the most distressing periods of his life.

Strahan’s 19-year-old daughter Isabella is currently battling cancer, and she has been keeping her followers updated as it pertains to her treatment, progress, and setbacks.

Isabella is fighting to beat medulloblastoma, a rare malignant tumor at the base of her brain. She’s undergoing chemotherapy at the moment, and it’s expectedly taking a toll on her body.

The treatment is also having an effect on her mind, as she’s revealed suffering memory loss in her latest YouTube update.

“I’m given this drug to protect my hearing, and just because I have a reaction to it, they give me Ativan. And for some reason, this happened last time too, I can’t remember a single thing about that day,” she shared.

Isabella’s video includes footage from her hospital visit, during which she was eating a sandwich that she couldn’t recall ordering.
