After spending 294 days in Russia, Brittney Griner has finally been released. The update arrives after US President Joe Biden announced that he had a call with the WNBA legend today. The 3-time Russian National League winner is on her way back home, per sources.

However, her wife, Cherelle Griner, is still not fully satisfied, in spite of the supremely optimistic piece of news. The 30-year-old has vowed to help fellow Americans who are still suffering outside the nation. This includes the detained Paul Whelan and several others.

Wife Cherelle announces that she will keep working for Americans

In September 2022, President Biden met with the families of detained Americans Brittney Griner and Paul Whelan. Having acknowledged that every moment being spent by Griner and Whelan outside the USA is “a minute too long,” he assured the Phoenix Mercury icon’s spouse that parity would be restored. And approximately three months later, this promise has been fulfilled; but not entirely.

Speaking after the massive news, Brittney’s wife, Cherelle Griner, promised to remain set on her goal to bring every US citizen back home. “BG and I will remain committed to the work of getting every American home, including Paul, whose family is in our hearts today as we celebrate BG being home.” She continued to express her empathy towards all the other families still enduring what she went through for nine months.
