Diana Taurasi and Brittney Griner have frequently battled side by side. While Griner is gradually making her way into the conversation, the latter is unquestionably one of the greatest players in WNBA history. Unfortunately, BG’s detention in Russia caused them to be apart for a full year. Like her teammate Taurasi, Griner traveled to Russia to play basketball for the UMMC Ekaterinburg squad.
After being found in possession of illegal narcotics, Brittney, a two-time Olympic gold winner and previous WNBA champion, was forced to deal with an unexpected turn of events. She was given a nine-year sentence after spending ten months in jail. However, the Russians decided to free her in December 2022 in exchange for convicted felon Viktor Bout. Griner met together once more with her loved ones, pals, and teammates.
