However, her name burst onto the world stage in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After playing for the Russian professional basketball team UMMC Ekaterinburg, Griner was returning to the United States for the upcoming WNBA season in February 2022 when customs officials at Sheremetyevo Airport near Moscow &#8220;found vape cartridges that contained oil derived from cannabis in her luggage&#8221; per <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/wnba\/story\/_\/id\/34877115\/brittney-griner-russia-drug-case-line-prison-trial-more\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ESPN<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Russia invaded Ukraine a week later, and Griner became a star player in the game of global politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the U.S. government negotiated for her release, a Russian court convicted Griner to nine years in prison for a crime that generally carries a maximum 15-day sentence under Russian law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Griner stayed in a Russian women's prison until December 2022, when the U.S. and Russian governments conducted a prisoner exchange, swapping Griner for convicted arms dealer Viktor Bout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, whether there were a sufficient number of people there watching it or not, Brittney Griner's 2023 WNBA debut marked the end of a saga that started over a year ago and spanned the globe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brittany Griner got a hero's welcome in her first game back in the WNBA after a tumultuous year, but her coach says it wasn't enough. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":197,"featured_media":1565628,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4898,69717],"tags":[10366,69738],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v22.9) -
