The WNBA world received a major shock back in January. The biggest defensive star in the league, Brittney Griner traveled to Russia with her teammates. However, she hasn’t been able to return home since. The seven-time All-Star is going through a trial in Russia. Recently, LeBron James weighed in on her situation, and his fans assumed the worst. Likewise, Robert Horry had to set things straight.
James had been very quiet over the ongoing situation with Briner. However, the King wasn’t going to stay silent for long. In the trailer for the new episode of ‘The Shop’, LeBron had a controversial opinion. He said: “Over 110 days, now how could she feel like America has her back? I would be feeling like, ‘Do I even want to go back to America?’” Huge backlash followed the King for his statement on the country. But he later took to Twitter to clarify his intentions behind the comments.
On his recent podcast episode, Robert Horry spoke about the situation and gave the fans some knowledge.

Griner’s detention in Russia impacted the country in a big way. The WNBA and NBA have all shown their support for the cause. But Griner isn’t back home yet. There has been huge pressure from the people to be aggressive. However, with the Phoenix star pleading guilty, Horry explained the USA can’t just interfere. They discussed the entire situation on his podcast.
Horry said: “We can’t start war, we can’t start that. We want Britany home, we want her to be safe, we want her in family’s arms. But you know, we can’t make a crazy country do what you want to do.”

Griner’s situation is surely unfortunate, but there isn’t much anyone can do. Since Griner has pleaded guilty, it is essential for the trial to take its course. At the moment it’s all about letting time give the answers. We can only hope and wish that Griner returns back to the USA safe and as soon as possible.
