The WNBA released a statement Saturday addressing some “inappropriate and unfortunate” actions toward Brittney Griner inside the Dallas airport earlier in the day.
The league, which did not provide further details on the matter in the release, said that it was gathering additional information about Saturday’s incident and that the “safety of Griner and all WNBA players” remains a “top priority.”
“Prior to the season, the WNBA worked together with the Phoenix Mercury and BG’s team to ensure her safety during her travel, which included charter flights for WNBA games and assigned security personnel with her at all times,” the statement read. “We remain steadfastly committed to the highest standards of security for players.”
