After WNBA star Brittney Griner was sentenced to nine years in prison in Russia for possessing hash oil cartridges at a Russian airport, the entire basketball community has reacted loudly to the news and offered their support to BG.
On Thursday Phoenix Mercury teammate Skylar Diggins Smith gave an emotional response when asked if the WNBA would continue playing after the news.
“Nobody wanted to play at all today,” Diggins-Smith told reporters. “How do you approach the game with a clear head when the whole group is crying before the game?
From Griner’s agent and both WNBA teammates and competitors, as well as players across the NBA, many have continued to share their thoughts and feelings via social media.
