But not as a player. Or as a coach for that matter.
The former Ballarat Rush guard was selected as team physio for the national wheelchair basketball team which will travel to Japan for a series of international exhibition matches.
It will be the first overseas call-up for Grylewicz who has worked as a physiotherapist for 17-years.
She said it might be the start of a second career.
"Possibly, I'll see how it pans out," she told The Courier.
"I haven't really done a lot of physio for disabilities, so it will be different.
"I've done physio for the Rush and Miners in the past but no wheelchair athletes.
"I'm actually quite excited."
Grylewicz captained the Ballarat Rush for three years during the 1990s before turning her duties to coaching in the early 2000s.
She said she hadn't watched much wheelchair basketball, but was interested to see how the games compare.
