Dennis Rodman plans visit to Russia in support of Britney Griner

Dennis Rodman, the ex-NBA star who says he knows Vladimir Putin well, revealed his plan to travel to Russia in support of incarcerated WNBA star Britney Griner.

Griner was sentenced this month to nine years at a Russian prison. She was detained at a Moscow airport in February after custom officials said vape canisters with cannabis oil were found inside her luggage.

The report doesn’t specify whom the New Jersey-born Rodman, 61, received permission from, though he only needs a visa to travel to Russia.
