The crowd turnout for Brittney Griner’s first game back was less than expected.
Griner, playing for the Phoenix Mercury, played on Friday night in her first regular season game since returning from Russia.
There were roughly 10,000 fans in attendance at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
Griner’s coach was not happy about that.
“I mean, it was great. But like honestly, c’mon now LA. We didn’t sell out the arena for BG? Like, I expected more, you know, to be honest. Right, it was great, it was loud. But how was it not a sellout? How was it not a sellout,” Phoenix Mercury head coach Vanessa Nygaard said postgame.

The Mercury lost their first game of the regular season, falling to the Sparks.
Perhaps we’ll see bigger crowds for Griner and the Mercury’s games moving forward this season.
