Several Los Angeles Sparks players and coaches took to social media on Monday to share their frustrations after having to spend the night at an airport when their commercial flight got canceled. 

Another stark reminder of the challenges facing the WNBA was brought to light this weekend when several Sparks players, after keeping their playoff hopes alive with a necessary win over the Washingon Mystics on Sunday, had to sleep at the Dulles International Airport after having their flight repeatedly delayed before eventually being canceled hours later.

"We are roaming the airport. First time in my 11 seasons that I've ever had to sleep in the airport," former league MVP Nneka Ogwumike said in a video posted to Twitter.

"It was only a matter of time. Half of us are sleeping at the airport, half of us are at a hotel — there weren't enough rooms after our flight got delayed, delayed, delayed and then canceled at 1 a.m. It is now 1:44, and we're here til 9 a.m."

In a statement to the Washington Post, a spokesperson for the Sparks said all the players were offered a hotel room but not all of them took advantage of the accommodations.
