The WNBA is working with Brittney Griner and the Phoenix Mercury on travel options including charter flights going forward MORE ⬇️
Griner’s travel was back in the spotlight last week when the team took a flight to Texas and then Indiana, requiring Griner and her Mercury teammates to go through commercial airports. While going through a Dallas airport last Saturday, the All-Star center who had been detained in Russia for nearly 10 months was harassed by what the WNBA called a “provocateur.”Many teams have been using public charter airline JSX.
Questions remain about who would pay for it if the WNBA allows Griner to fly privately. And also if the league allows Phoenix to use JSX to fly to any of the other 11 cities that teams play in by creating their own flights, how other teams would view that since it would give the Mercury a potential competitive advantage.
The executive director of the WNBA players’ union talked to Griner on Thursday and said she was frustrated.
