Griner plays for the Phoenix Mercury, and Johnson for the Tulsa Shock — and each will begin their suspensions when the WNBA season begins in June. The season is only 34 games long … so 7 games is roughly 20% of the season.
You’ll recall … the couple got arrested after brawling with each other in their Phoenix area home. They were engaged at the time, but went through with their wedding 2 weeks later.
The WNBA President Laurel Richie says she consulted with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver — as well as several abuse counselors and domestic violence groups — before reaching her decision.
In addition to the suspensions … Brittney and Glory will have to attend individual counseling sessions.
