The WNBA will honor the Phoenix Mercury’s Brittney Griner, who’s been detained in Russia since February, with floor decals at all games, ESPN first reported Monday

The decal will feature Griner’s initials as well as the All-Star center’s Number 42. All 12 teams will have the decal on their home courts starting with the season opener Friday.

Griner was detained after her arrival at a Moscow airport on February 17, with Russian authorities saying vape cartridges were found in her luggage that allegedly contained oil derived from cannabis.
