LeBron James voiced his support for Brittney Griner Sunday night on Twitter and posted a statement from his company, Uninterrupted. Griner has been detained in Russia for more than 100 days and the U.S. government has classified Griner’s arrest as “wrongfully detained” as of May 3.
“We need to come together and help do whatever we possibly can to bring BG home quickly and safely!!” James said on Twitter. “Our voice as athletes is stronger together.”
The Mercury star was arrested on Feb. 17 at Sheremetyevo International Airport where Russian officials said they discovered vape cartridges containing hashish oil in her luggage.
