Curry On Griner’s Return To Home 

The WNBA player returned to Texas after 10 months, when the US-Russia prisoner swap ended. Griner was detained for keeping the vape cartridges and was sentenced to serve nine years in prison. Joe Biden rescued her from the Russian prison.

Curry stated:

“It means a lot to know that she’s here, and all the work that went on behind the scenes to make that a reality. So I just want to say thank you.”

He also mentioned that he got a chance to reflect on their championship last year.

The Warriors were among the people who supported the release of Brittney Griner. On Oct. 18, the day when Griner turned 32, Curry called for her release during the Golden State Warriors championship ring ceremony.
