The Griners previously announced the pregnancy on Instagram in April.
“He is amazing,” Griner told Foster-Brasby. “They say as soon as you see him, everything you thought mattered just goes out the window. And that’s literally what happens.”
Griner is in Phoenix for AT&T WNBA All-Star 2024. She will represent Team USA in a matchup against WNBA All-Stars on Saturday evening before heading to Paris for the Summer Olympics.
The 10-time WNBA All-Star is looking to win her third straight Olympic gold medal. She starred last time out for Team USA in Tokyo in 2021, averaging 16.5 points and 7.2 rebounds per game.
