By Ben Morse and Jill Martin | CNNBrittney Griner said during a press conference on Thursday that she’ll “never go overseas again” to play basketball unless it’s for the Olympics after being detained in Russia. Griner had for years played on a Russian women’s basketball team during the WNBA off-season and was detained in a Moscow airport as she traveled back to the US. So I don’t knock any player that wants to go overseas and want to make a little bit extra money. Phoenix play their first game of the regular season against the Los Angeles Sparks on May 19 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. “If I could have went and got them out or any of that, of course, I would have,” Griner said.
