Brittney Griner and the Phoenix Mercury’s first two road trips highlight the issues facing her and the league.
Phoenix Mercury's Brittney Griner goes to the basket against Indiana Fever's Aliyah Boston, front left, during the second half of a WNBA basketball game, Sunday, June 11, 2023, in Indianapolis.
For the Mercury's season-opening weekend trip to Los Angeles the team traveled on a business jet that didn't require the Phoenix travel party to go through the commercial part of the airport. The league doesn't allow teams to routinely use charter flights, though taking a flight that is on any airline's scheduled routes between cities is not considered a charter flight by the WNBA. By the definition, the Mercury — who did not create their own route/flight to California — did not violate the Collective Bargaining Agreement by using the business jet to play the Sparks.The league said Griner's security has been an ongoing concern since before the season began.
