According to a report from ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne, Breanna Stewart is making private air travel for WNBA teams a major point of her free agency meetings and could play a role in where she chooses to sign.
Shelburne added that, due to concerns about Phoenix Mercury center Brittney Griner’s safety, there is an assumption that the seven-time All-Star will travel on chartered flights, instead of the WNBA’s standard commercial travel.
If Griner were to fly privately the league would have to address whether her teammates on the Mercury would fly privately with her.
