Brittney Griner left the Mercury after over a decade not just to be closer to family, but because she believed the Dream offered a better fit at this stage of her career. Unfortunately, things haven’t gone as planned. Her season has been far from ideal, and against the Dallas Wings, it hit a new low.
At the beginning of the third quarter in the match between the Wings and Dream, Griner was involved in a physical tussle with Haley Jones, which resulted in referee Angelica Suffren blowing the whistle and calling a foul against Griner. The Dream Center was certainly not happy with it and confronted the official, who upgraded her foul to a technical. But things went from bad to worse soon enough.
A frustrated Griner appeared to make contact with Suffren, which resulted in another technical and, thus, an automatic ejection from the game.
Brittney Griner picks up two technical fouls and is ejected. Arike Ogunbowale makes both free throws, putting the Wings up 45-44 on the Dream with 9:02 left in the third quarter.
