Brittney Griner Sidelined Indefinitely with Toe Fracture

The Phoenix Mercury star center will miss the season opener and undergo reevaluation in the coming weeks.

Griner's injury leaves a significant gap in the Mercury's roster as they prepare for a demanding month.
The 33-year-old All-Star averaged 17.5 points and 6.3 rebounds last season.
Phoenix Mercury added forward Liz Dixon to the roster to compensate for Griner's absence.
The team has a new coach, Nate Tibbetts, and general manager, Nick U'Ren, this season.
Griner recently published a book detailing her experience in Russia.
