Mercury to Award $7,000 to One Lucky Fan Each Time Brittney Griner Dunks in a 2019 Mercury Home Game
This could be big! The three-time WNBA Champion Phoenix Mercury today announced the return of the BG Dunks Promotion giving Mercury fans the chance to cash in big this season. The initiative is simple: every time Mercury star Brittney Griner dunks in a 2019 regular season home game at Talking Stick Resort Arena, one registered fan will win $7,000! Fans must register at PhoenixMercury.com/BGdunks in order to be eligible.
The Mercury originally launched the BG Dunks promotion a season ago with $5,000 in prize money, but Griner did not record a regular season dunk in 2018. Because of that, and in honor of her seventh WNBA season, the prize has grown to $7,000! Griner is the most prolific dunker in WNBA history— she has recorded 10 regular-season dunks through her first six WNBA seasons, which is 10 of the 13 regular-season dunks in the 21-year history of the WNBA. BG also has the league’s only playoff dunk in history, and two All-Star Game dunks.
First chance to win is Friday, May 31 as the Phoenix Mercury take on the Las Vegas Aces for the Fry’s Food Stores Opening Night at Talking Stick Resort Arena. All terms and conditions can be found at PhoenixMercury.com/BGdunks.
After coming within one win of a trip to the 2018 WNBA Finals, the Phoenix Mercury return in 2019 in search of a league-record tying fourth WNBA title. Led by the All-Star trio of Diana Taurasi, Brittney Griner and DeWanna Bonner, Phoenix opens its title quest on May 25 at Seattle on ABC. Tickets for Fry’s Food Stores Opening Night on Friday, May 31, at Talking Stick Resort Arena can be purchased by calling 602.252.WNBA or by visiting PhoenixMercury.com.
