Atlanta Dream center Brittney Griner was irate at WNBA officials on Saturday night and let them know about it as the team handed the Dallas Wings their fourth straight defeat.
Griner was about to talk to CBS Sports for a halftime interview when the officials walked behind her. She turned around and complained about how she was being fouled during the contest. She was then heard yelling an expletive as the officials went back to the locker room.

Griner joined the Dream in the offseason after she spent the first 12 seasons of her career with the Phoenix Mercury. She was a part of a harrowing situation in 2022 when she was arrested in Russia on drug charges and held there until she was a part of a prisoner swap for Viktor Bout, known as “The Merchant of Death.”
She played two more seasons in Phoenix after she returned home. A two-time WNBA Defensive Player of the Year, she averaged 17.7 points and 7.4 rebounds during her time with the Mercury.
