‘No Stranger to Hard Times’: Brittney Griner Tears Up at Her First Press Conference
As Brittney Griner prepares for her first WNBA game since 2021, she held a press conference Thursday, speaking publicly for the first time since being imprisoned in Russia for 10 months for carrying cannabis oil vape cartridges through a Moscow airport.
It was an emotional news conference for Griner, who welled up as a reporter tearfully asked what kind of “resilience” Griner relied upon.
“See, you cry and now you made me cry,” Griner joked in response.
