Rather, she was a competitive swimmer up to age 11. However, she developed a knack for basketball later on and pursued it without any worries at Manvel High School. Before Manvel, Brianna had spent her freshman season at the Westbury Christian School, Houston, to get the foundation of the sport. According to the University of Notre Dame data, Brianna got the following achievements for her contributions to high school basketball:

Brianna Turner Salary and Contract

Currently, Brianna Turner is on a single-year contract with Indiana Fever, which is worth $85,000 dollars. The first destination for Turner was supposed to be the Atlanta Dream, who drafted her on April 10, 2019, with the 11th overall pick. But the Dream traded her the same day to the Phoenix Mercury. With this franchise, Brianna signed 4 year $197,503 contract with the Mercury. The team decided to reward Brianna again in the May of 2022 season when they offered her a 2-year $300,000 contract extension for two seasons.

Last year in February, she made it to the Chicago Sky by being part of a trade. After that, she became a free agent this season, and the Indiana Fever took her out of the WNBA market to get the best out of her for their championship run. For the sake of it, they have signed a single-year $85,000 contract with the Indiana Fever.
