American Basketball Players Hold Moment Of Silence In Solidarity With US Basketballer Sentenced To Nine Years In Russian Jail

American basketball players held a moment of silence in solidarity for a colleague who’s been sentenced to nine years in a Russian jail.

WNBA star Brittney Griner has been convicted of smuggling vape cartridges infused with cannabis oil into the country – something she insists was a mistake.

While the Phoenix Mercury player will appeal, there is also said to be a prospect of a prisoner swap between Russia and the US.
