Phoenix Mercury baller Brittney Griner is sending a sweet message to her wife, Cherelle, amid her own legal obstacles. As her trial resumed in a Russian courtroom on July 26, Brittney made it a point to give a message to an ABC News Producer. When asked if she wanted to say anything to her wife — who recently graduated from Law School — Brittney sent her well wishes. “Good luck on the bar exam,” Brittney said. The baller was then asked if she had any complaints about her treatment in Russia, to which she responded, “No, no complaints. Just waiting patiently.”
For her part, Cherelle has been advocating for Brittney’s release for months. After speaking with President Joe Biden, Cherelle held a Bring BG Home Rally, to help increase support for the player. “I assure you that what and how I feel is no longer hurt by the impact of this tragedy,” Cherelle said at the rally, per ESPN. “What and how I feel today is a deeper emotion than hurt. I’m frustrated.”
Griner is set to take the stand herself on July 27.
