Brittney Griner had a short message for Atlanta Dream fans after she was ejected in their game against the Dallas Wings.

The Atlanta Dream have been playing good basketball throughout the season, and it's safe to say they've been one of the top teams in the league. One of the reasons is because of the system that head coach Karl Smesko has put in, and it has allowed the team to thrive in any situation. Another reason for their success is the talent that they have on the team, and they added some pieces in free agency that have helped throughout the year.

One of those additions was Brittney Griner, who left the Phoenix Mercury to join the Dream. Griner has always been one of the dominant bigs in the league, and she's made an impact on the Dream since arriving.

The Dream have needed Griner a little bit more than usual in the past few games because of the injury to Rhyne Howard, but she has stepped up to the plate. In their game against the Dallas Wings on Wednesday, Griner was ejected early in the third quarter after picking up two technical fouls. Luckily, the Dream were still able to walk away with the win depsite being down three starters in that game.

Griner was also dealing with a neck injury, which placed her on the injury report for their next game against her old team. Regardless of how she felt, she still showed love to her team on Instagram and got them hype, with a five-word caption that said "Trust the process vs. Phoenix and the Lil Wayne song "Let It All Work Out" playing.

Griner was out for that game against the Mercury, but the Dream were able to win that game as well.
