"It's a goal of mine," Griner told ESPN in an extended interview this week as she prepared for her debut with the Dream on Friday night against the Washington Mystics. "It hasn't been in the U.S. for a while now, so I think to be able to play at the Olympics in your home country would be amazing."

As the Atlanta Dream prepares for the season opener, the newest member of the team is Brittney Griner, as the move shocked some in the basketball world, as he had been with the Phoenix Mercury since 2013.

If Griner plays in the 2028 Summer Olympics, she would have an opportunity for her fourth gold medal with Team USA.
