Brittney Griner Approves Charter Flights Following Harassment Incident
- Brittney Griner approved to fly charter for the remainder of the Phoenix Mercury's season after she and her teammates were harassed at the airport.
- The WNBA is working with Griner and the Mercury to explore travel options including charter flights in light of the harassment incident.
- Although the WNBA typically only allows charter flights for back-to-back games due to financial restrictions, the league granted Griner permission to book her own charter flights before the season began.
- The Mercury adjusted their travel plans so that Griner will now be able to fly charter for the team's remaining away games.
- Griner missed the Mercury's last game due to injury, though her security has been an ongoing concern all season.
