Brittney Griner is once again at the center of controversy, and the WNBA may soon be forced to take disciplinary action following two separate outbursts during recent games.

The Atlanta Dream star first drew attention during Saturday’s 83-75 win over the Dallas Wings at Gateway Center Arena in College Park, Georgia. After the final whistle, as Griner prepared for her on-court interview with CBS Sports, she abruptly walked over to a referee and launched into a profanity-laced complaint about the officiating.

“Be f—ing better!” Griner was heard yelling, visibly frustrated with how the game had been called. The moment, caught on camera, quickly went viral and sparked debate across social media platforms.

Griner’s behavior could lead to league-issued discipline. Under WNBA guidelines, players are prohibited from verbally abusing officials or publicly criticizing them.

Such actions typically warrant fines and can lead to more serious consequences depending on the severity of the incident. Griner’s move to break from her media obligations to confront a referee is expected to draw scrutiny from the league office.

This wasn’t the only heated moment for Griner this week. Just days earlier, during the Dream’s 81-76 loss to Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever, she fouled out late in the game and was seen visibly upset on the bench. Cameras caught her in an animated exchange, and some fans claimed — via lip reading — that her remarks may have included a racially charged comment directed at Clark. While that accusation remains unconfirmed, the speculation alone has intensified calls for the league to review her conduct.

So far, the WNBA has not issued a formal statement regarding either incident. However, insiders believe the league is likely reviewing the Saturday confrontation with officials, which was both public and explicit.

With player conduct and league image under growing scrutiny, especially in a high-profile season spotlighting stars like Griner and Clark, the WNBA could soon face pressure to respond.
