Domestic Abuse Argument
Glory Johnson, a former forward for the Dallas Wings, was a fellow WNBA player who Griner married in 2015. The couple was arrested on April 22, 2015, for a domestic violence incident before getting married, and each was suspended for seven games as a result.
When it announced the suspensions, the league issued a detailed statement on the subject. “A physical altercation between Brittney and Glory took place at their home. The incident started when Glory shoved Brittney in the shoulder and Brittney hit Glory in the neck, according to the league’s statement.
“As the argument heated up, numerous objects were thrown and swung, along with wrestling and punches. Glory had a scratch above her lip and was identified as having a concussion, while Brittney sustained bite wounds on her finger and scratches on her wrist.

Conclusion
“After careful evaluation of all the relevant facts and circumstances, we are suspending Glory Johnson and Brittney Griner for a total of seven regular-season games, both without pay. The behaviour of Brittney and Glory is against the WNBA’s best interests and is illegal. We also recognise that learning from mistakes is just as vital as enforcing discipline and that people make mistakes. As a result, each player will have to go to individual counselling sessions with a therapist who meets the WNBA’s standards. We reserve the right to review this matter again if either player violates this condition or any other requirements set forth by the court.
