Brittney Griner made contact with an official while arguing a foul call on Wednesday night, which led to her quick ejection.
Atlanta Dream star Brittney Griner was tossed early in the second half from their matchup with the Dallas Wings on Wednesday night after getting into it with an official.
Griner was fighting for a rebound with Haley Jones and was called for a foul in the third quarter at the College Park Center in Arlington, Texas. Griner seemed to own up to pretty quickly with Jones, and patted her on the back while helping Jones keep her balance. But Griner then approached the official who called her for the foul and started arguing with her, which quickly earned her a technical foul.
Griner then followed that official and made contact with her while continuing to argue the call, which automatically drew the second technical foul and resulted in her ejection. Griner was pulled back and walked off the court almost immediately.

Griner had four points and four rebounds when she was thrown out.
Griner entered the night averaging a career-low 10.9 points and 5.6 rebounds per game this season, her first with the Dream after spending her first 12 years in the league with the Phoenix Mercury.
Atlanta currently holds a 15-11 record, which is the second-best record in the Eastern Conference behind only the New York Liberty. The Wings, who were playing in their third game in four nights, entered the contest with an 8-19 record — though they were fresh off a 10-point win over the Liberty on Monday.
