WACO, Texas -
Baylor junior Brittney Griner, a 6-8 post, has withdrawn her name from consideration for the 2012 USA Basketball Women's National Team.
"Because of a family illness and my school schedule during the summer, I have told USA Basketball Women's National Team Director, Carol Callan, that I will be unable to participate this summer with the 2012 USA Basketball Women's National Team. I am disappointed that I will be unable to participate, but I want to stay involved in USA Basketball and hope to again have the opportunity to represent my country in future international competition," Griner said.
