Los Angeles Lakers forward James questioned why the basketball player would want to return to a country that has taken so much time to help in a resolution for the case.
How can she feel that America is behind her? James said in a trailer for the latest episode of his talk show. I would be wondering if I even want to return to America.
She was arrested in Moscow in February after the Russian Federal Customs Service found a bag that belonged to her that contained a mixture of cannabinoids. The man will appear in court on Thursday after pleading guilty to drug possession last week.
James supported the seven-time All-Star after the U.S. State Department classified his case as a wrongful detainer.
Uninterrupted's online store is selling T-shirts with the words "We Are BG" printed on them, with the proceeds going to the family of the person who died.
It's not clear when the episode was filmed. James mentioned in the trailer that Griner had been held in Russia for more than a month.
The coach of the Phoenix Mercury made a point about the country's slow response to the center's detainment last week.
He would be home, right? The reporter asked, "Do you tell reporters?" There is a statement about the value of women. A statement about the value of a black person. The value of a gay person is stated. That's all of them. That's what hurts more because we know it.
Every player in the All-Star Game wore a jersey with the player's name and number on it.
The United States will continue to work for the release of Americans held by Moscow, according to the Secretary of State.
He said last week that they wouldn't relent until the wrongly imprisoned Americans are brought back to their families.
Jake Sullivan said that former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson had been in contact with the National Security Council, but wouldn't say what he was going to do. A source told ABC News that Richardson will travel to Russia to help with the release of the basketball player.
