American basketball player Brittney Griner was released from Russian captivity on Dec. 8, in a one-on-one prisoner exchange for Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, who had been imprisoned in the U.S. for 14 years.
The Phoenix Mercury star is reportedly “in good health” and will be “offered a wide range of support options,” a senior White House official said. Griner said was “happy” as she boarded the plane en route to the U.S. and her San Antonio, Texas, home.
