The United States government has officially recognized Brittney Griner's arrest in Russia as a "wrongful detainment" and will now move to negotiate with the Kremlin for her release. The decision comes after the Russian state released a U.S. Marine in a prisoner swap deal weeks ago and has also permitted the WNBA and other athletes and organizations to publicly support and call for Griner's release during the season. Rick Strom breaks it down. Give us your thoughts in the comments below!
