Brittney Griner, a Houston native who has been detained in Russia since she was arrested more than four months ago, has made a direct appeal for help to President Joe Biden, several media outlets reported Monday.
“Please don’t forget about me and the other American [d]etainees,” Griner wrote, according to excerpts of the letter shared by a family representative. “Please do all you can to bring us home.”
Griner, who played college basketball for Baylor University in Waco, went on to be a seven-time WNBA All-Star center and two-time Olympic gold medalist. Like many WNBA players, Griner plays in Russia during the league’s offseason.
