It’s her third public appearance since being released from a Russian prison: she was sentenced to nine years in August after pleading guilty to drug charges, but was traded for Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout in a controversial prisoner exchange in December. She returned to US soil on December 9.
Bout, known internationally as the «Merchant of Death», he was serving 25 years in federal prison after being convicted of conspiracy to kill Americans in connection with supporting a Colombian terrorist organization.
His first appearance since his release was at a Martin Luther King Jr. march in downtown Phoenix in January.
Although she remains an unsigned free agent, Griner has stated that she will play for the Phoenix Mercury again this season.
