Griner also picked up her first win over Clark since the former Iowa standout joined the WNBA in the 2024 draft. Last year, the 6-foot-9 center went 0-4 against Clark, including three losses with the Mercury and one in the WNBA All-Star Game.

After an unexpected end to her time with the Mercury, 34-year-old Brittney Griner signed with the Dream and believes she's still got plenty left in the tank and hopes to play in the 2028 L.A. Olympics.

Satou Sabally scored 27 points in her Phoenix Mercury debut, an 81-59 season-opening win over the Seattle Storm.

Post-game WNBA announced that Griner was the top performer of the match, along with a message that read, "Brittney Griner put on a big-time performance in the Atlanta Dream’s thrilling 1-PT win over the Indiana Fever 💪"
