Recently, the President of the United States, Joe Biden met with the families of Griner and former US Marine Paul Whelan. The Phoenix Mercury star and Whelan were supposedly part of a potential prisoner swap deal discussed with Russia.
Moreover, reports suggested that the negotiations have been tough in order to bring Griner back home. Due to the complexity of the situation, the WNBA star has had to spend a long time in prison.
This has affected her mental health terribly. As revealed by Griner’s wife, Cherelle, Brittney’s health is only deteriorating. According to reports, “Cherelle has been exchanging letters from BG during her imprisonment in Russia. But recently those letters have taken a dark turn. ?She?s not well,? Cherelle told me. “She?s losing it.“
