Griner was detained Feb. 17, 2022, at Sheremetyevo International Airport in Khimki as she returned to Russia to play during the WNBA’s off-season. She was accused of having vape cartridges containing hash oil — an oil derived from cannabis — which is illegal in the country.
On Dec. 8, the U.S. announced that Griner had been released in a prisoner exchange with Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout.
