Griner (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Wings.

Griner will miss an eighth straight game due to a left knee injury, and her next opportunity to suit up won't come until Sept. 17 against the Dream. If Olivia Nelson-Ododa (knee) joins Griner on the inactive list, Raegan Beers and Nell Angloma would be candidates for increased playing time.

How it's counted

Each situation shows this player's numbers in those games, with the difference from their full-season line in parentheses. The definition sits under each situation name. Situations overlap: one game can count in several.

True shooting is one shooting number that folds in threes and free throws; its differences are in points of TS%. Every final box score counts — there is no minutes cutoff. Fewer than 5 games reads as a small sample. These splits describe what happened. They do not prove the schedule caused it.
