TULSA, Okla. (AP) — The Tulsa Shock have had more than a season’s worth of distractions just halfway through.
First, forward Glory Johnson was suspended seven games after a domestic fight with fellow WNBA star Brittney Griner. After Johnson and Griner were married, Johnson announced she was pregnant and would miss the entire season.
Things were still OK before Skylar Diggins, the Western Conference Player of the Month for June and the No. 2 vote-getter for the All-Star game — was lost for the season with a torn ACL.
Now, majority owner Bill Cameron has announced plans to move the team to the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
On the court, it’s also been tough. The Shock enter the All-Star break on a four-game losing streak, with each defeat coming by seven or fewer points.
