(Reuters) - The WNBA on Friday suspended married all-stars Brittney Griner and Glory Johnson for conduct detrimental to the league after they were arrested in connection with a fight between them at their Phoenix-area home just weeks before their wedding.

Griner, a center with the Phoenix Mercury, pleaded guilty in Goodyear City Court last month to misdemeanor disorderly conduct and was required to complete a 26-week domestic violence course. The case involving Johnson, a Tulsa Shock forward, is still pending.
