Griner’s return to the United States was one of the major headlines in December. The seven-time All-Star was detained in Russia after her arrest in February 2022. She was arrested at an airport near Moscow after authorities reportedly found cannabis vape cartridges in her possession.
The WNBA champion was eventually returned as part of a prisoner exchange between the States and Russia. Since her return, she inked a one-year, $165,000 deal with the Phoenix Mercury.
