WNBA All-Star Game Tips Off In Chicago Amid Griner's Imprisonment

For more than 5 months, Griner has been detained in Russia on drug charges after she was arrested at a Moscow airport.

As an exciting WNBA All-Star weekend wrapped up Sunday with the All-Star game in Chicago, everyone in the league was thinking of Brittney Griner.

"She remains a huge priority for us, continues to have our full support, fully focused on getting her home safely and as soon as possible," said Commissioner of the WNBA, Cathy Engelbert, of Griner.

The league named the Phoenix Mercury star an honorary All-Star, and starter. Additionally, All-Stars wore practice shirts with Griner's name and her jersey number, 42.
