Recently released Brittney Griner has broken her silence after returning to the United States, and has confirmed that she intends to continue her career with WNBA side Phoenix Mercury this season.
Griner has finally been freed from a Russian prison after President Joe Biden sent notorious arms dealer Viktor Bout the other way, ending her terrifying ordeal that has been ongoing since February. Griner was detained in February after she was accused of bringing cannabis oil in her luggage to a Moscow airport.
The WNBA star was sentenced to nine years and denied a later appeal in Russia, but has been freed and is back on US soil after ten months. Griner has now taken to Instagram to offer her first public statement, and intends to return to Mercury.
