Brittney Griner Working On Memoir About Captivity In Russia

U.S. women’s basketball star Brittney Griner says she is working on a memoir in which she will share the story of her “unfathomable” experience of being arrested and incarcerated in Russia. “Readers will hear my story and understand why I’m so thankful for the outpouring of support from people across the world," Griner said in a statement on April 11. Griner was arrested last year at a Moscow airport on drug-related charges and detained for nearly 10 months. Her plight unfolded at the same time Russia invaded Ukraine and further heightened tensions between Russia and the United States. To read the original story by AP, click here.
