Brittney Griner speaks out for first time since return from Russian prison: ‘Battle at every turn’

New York Post

Griner, 32, was released in exchange for convicted international arms dealer Viktor Bout on Dec. 8, almost 10 months after she was busted at a Moscow airport with cannabis oil in February.

“It feels so good to be home! The last 10 months have been a battle at every turn,” Griner said on Instagram after her release from a Texas medical facility. “I dug deep to keep my faith and it was the love from so many of you that helped keep me going. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone for your help.”

Griner also announced she intended to return to the Phoenix Mercury for her 10th season as a professional.

“In doing so, I look forward to being able to say ‘thank you’ to those of you who advocated, wrote, and posted for me in person soon,” she said.
