Sports Briefing | Basketball: Brittney Griner Seeking Annulment

Brittney Griner filed papers seeking to annul her 28-day marriage to Glory Johnson. “In the week prior to the wedding, I attempted to postpone the wedding several times until I completed counseling, but I still went through with it,” Griner said in a statement to ESPN. “I now realize that was a mistake.”

Griner and Johnson, both W.N.B.A. stars, married on May 9, three weeks after both were arrested in Arizona on domestic violence charges. Johnson announced Thursday that she was pregnant.

u25a0 Arn Tellem, one of the most powerful agents in sports, agreed to become the vice chairman of Palace Sports and Entertainment, the company that owns the Detroit Pistons.
