Brittney Griner has been free for over a year now, having been released from a Russian prison in December of 2022. And she certainly has the look of someone who’s been living in a place she’s chosen to live in.
The WNBA star was treated to one of the highest honors a former college athlete can be treated to this Sunday as she returned to Baylor to see her No. 42 jersey retired.
