WNBA star Brittney Griner has spent over 200 days in prison. With little freedom and a tense atmosphere, she has been trying everything to stay positive. From reading books to even trying to go vegan, Griner has tried it all.

However, it is no easy task. Griner’s situation is very sensitive with the whole world having its eyes on the Phoenix Mercury star. Needless to say, she received both love and hate during this period.

Athletes from all across the world have voiced their opinion on Griner. WNBA stars have not been behind in supporting a fellow athlete. Legends like Diana Taurasi and Breanna Stewart have come out openly to voice their solidarity with Griner.

The Russian court will be hearing appeals from Griner’s side on the 25th of October. This date is quite significant as it can decide whether Griner will return back to the United States or will stay in prison.
