Griner was also dealing with a neck injury, which placed her on the injury report for their next game against her old team. Regardless of how she felt, she still showed love to her team on Instagram and got them hype, with a five-word caption that said “Trust the process vs. Phoenix.”

The tense scene unfolded with the Dream holding a 44-43 lead following a foul call on Griner during a battle for a rebound with less than a minute into the second half. Griner, 34, immediately approached Suffren and voiced her displeasure with the call, which resulted in a technical foul.

Things got a bit testy during the third quarter of Wednesday night's Atlanta Dream vs. Dallas Wings game, when Dream center Brittney Griner had to be held back from a referee and was eventually ejected from the game.
