The wife of WNBA star Brittney Griner is dealing with “one of the weakest moments of my life” as the Phoenix Mercury player remains detained in Russia after hashish oil was allegedly found in her luggage at a Moscow airport.
“Thank you to everyone who has reached out to me regarding my wife’s safe return from Russia. Your prayers and support are greatly appreciated,” Cherelle Griner wrote on Instagram Saturday night, hours after news of Griner’s detention broke.
“I understand that many of you have grown to love BG over the years and have concerns and want details. Please honor our privacy as we continue to work on getting my wife home safely.”
