The Brooklyn Nets star guard Kyrie Irving spoke about the release of weed-smuggler WNBA player Brittney Griner, who returned home to the U.S. late last week after being swapped for a terrorist.
“I’m grateful she’s home,” Irving said. “I’m grateful she’s with her family. Most importantly, humanity comes first. We all feel for her.
“We all feel for her and feel for everyone who is wrongfully imprisoned or in some prison somewhere where they haven’t gotten their justice. We feel for her, for sure. I’m just grateful we all can share in the celebration with her being here. Still more work to do out in the world.”
