Brittney Griner Divorce Adds Uncertainty to Connecticut Sun WNBA Season

Brittney Griner's ongoing divorce is adding another layer of uncertainty to a difficult WNBA season for the Connecticut Sun star. Her estranged wife has asked the court to consider the stark gap between their incomes when deciding financial support.

The legal filing in Fulton County, Georgia, follows eight years of marriage before the relationship ended on July 24. Cherelle Griner has requested both financial support and joint legal custody of their two-year-old son, Bash.

In court documents, she noted a substantial disparity in their earnings and stated an inability to meet reasonable monthly needs without help. Brittney is currently playing for the Sun on a one-year contract worth more than $1 million.

The legal developments arrive at a challenging time for the basketball player as the season progresses.
