Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry took time on opening night on Tuesday to bring attention to Brittney Griner on her 32nd birthday.
“We want to continue to use our platform and take the opportunity to shout out a very special member of the basketball community,” Curry said. “Brittney Griner’s birthday is today. She’s 32 years old. We want to continue to let her name be known.”
Griner was detained at Moscow airport in February after a flight from New York for allegedly possessing cannabis oil in her luggage. She was sentenced in August to a nine-year prison sentence. Considering the strained relationship between the United States and Russia – exacerbated by the war in Ukraine – Griner widely is considered a pawn being held Russian president Vladimir Putin as a political prisoner.
