The Wall Street Journal: WNBA star Griner makes it official: She plans to be back on the court this season

United States

WNBA star Brittney Griner said she plans to restart her basketball career this season in her first public comments since she was released from a Russian penal colony. 

Griner said in an Instagram post Friday that the last 10 months have been a battle for her, but she was happy to be home. The Biden administration negotiated her return to the U.S. earlier this month through a prisoner exchange for Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout.
