WNBA star Brittney Griner, who has been detained in Russia since February, has written a letter to president Joe Biden directly appealing for his assistance in procuring her release.
Excerpts of her emotional message to the president were shared via Twitter on Monday by ESPN's T.J. Quinn.
Griner wrote, “As I sit here in a Russian prison, alone with my thoughts and without the protection of my wife, family, friends, Olympic jersey, or any accomplishments, I’m terrified I might be here forever.”
The 31-year-old Mercury center has been held in Russian custody since Feb.
