Athlon Sports. Atlanta Dream center Brittney Griner recently returned from a three-game injury absence. Held out with a neck injury, Griner rejoined Atlanta on Sunday and contributed to a 74-66 victory over the Phoenix Mercury.

For the first time in league history, a WNBA regular-season game will be played outside the United States. Friday, the Atlanta Dream and Seattle Storm tip off at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, marking both the league’s Canadian regular-season debut and the first WNBA game ever held in Vancouver.

Atlanta faces the Golden State Valkyries after Rhyne Howard scored 21 points in the Dream's 80-78 loss to the Seattle Storm.

Canada was hurt in the third quarter of Sunday’s 74-66 win over the Phoenix Mercury. Driving to the basket against Alyssa Thomas, she grimaced in pain after a runner, then hobbled off the court without putting weight on her right leg. After being evaluated behind the bench, she was carried to the locker room and ruled out for the rest of the game.

On Sunday, Griner entered the matchup against the Phoenix Mercury as questionable. Before tip-off, the Dream center was seen warming up with Atlanta. Just before the game began, Griner was listed as available, set to play in her first matchup in August after missing three straight games.

The Atlanta Dream shared an update on Jordin Canada, who suffered an injury in their last game against the Mercury.

The Atlanta Dream star was named the WNBA Eastern Conference Player of the Week for the third time this season. She also has snagged the Eastern Conference Player of the Month honors for May and June, in addition to earning her third-straight All-Star selection.
