The WNBA team Phoenix Mercury coach complained about the turn out in Brittney Griner's second game following her Russian detainment.

Los Angeles hosted the game Saturday between the Mercury and the LA Sparks, welcoming 10,396 fans into the Crypto.com stadium per ESPN. While Griner scored 18 points in 25 minutes, her coach Vanessa Nygaard shared her disappointment with reporters after the game that they hadn't sold out the arena's capacity at just over 19,000.

"I mean, it was great. But like honestly, c’mon now LA. We didn’t sell out the arena for BG?" Nygaard said. "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?"

Among those in attendance were NBA legend Magic Johnson, tennis legend Billie Jean King, and Vice President Kamala Harris among others. Harris shared photos and videos from the locker room in a series of tweets Saturday.

"Brittney Griner’s return to the court is an inspiration to our nation – and is a testament to her strength and courage," Harris tweeted.

On average, roughly 5,600 fans attend Mercury games, per Fox News. The team went 13-23 last season without Griner, who was arrested in Russia and charged with drug possession in February 2022.

Griner signed a yearlong deal worth $165,100 to rejoin her team earlier this year, months after President Joe Biden approved a high-profile prisoner swap with convicted Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout to get her back in December.

As the No. 1 draft pick in 2013, Griner finished the 2021 season with an average 20.5 points, 1.9 blocks, and 2.7 assists per game. She also had a career-high of 9.5 rebounds per match. The center helped her team win the 2016 Finals.
