LeBron James recently breached his quiet on Brittney Griner’s detention in Russia. The WNBA star has been detained by Russian authorities for more than 100 days and James believes, if he were Griner, he would question returning to America.

During the most recent episode of “The Shop,” the subject of the detained basketball star came up. The gravity of the situation compelled James to launch a critical statement. “How can she feel like America has her back? I would be feeling like, ‘Do I even want to go back to America?’ James said, criticizing the U.S government.

LeBron James weighed in on the matter. He joined the chorus of athletes who believe the government isn’t doing enough to bring Brittney Griner back home.

Griner was detained at a Russian airport when officials seized vape cartridges with cannabis oil from her bag. She recently pled guilty to the Russian drug charges after being detained for months. The WNBA star is yet to be sentenced; however, if she is, she could face up to ten years behind the bars.

Griner’s wife recently pleaded with the President, Joe Biden. With LeBron James now also stepping forward, the quest to bring Griner back to the States continues.

LeBron James voiced his support for the WNBA star on Twitter as well

Brittney Griner has been detained since February, therefore many people have made it their goal to get her home. LeBron James has also joined this group, having demanded that the player’s case be resolved as soon as possible.
