PHOENIX — Phoenix Mercury star Brittney Griner tried to call her wife nearly a dozen times through the American embassy in Russia on the couple’s fourth anniversary Saturday, but they never connected since the phone line at the embassy was not staffed, Cherelle Griner said Monday.
The couple has not spoken by phone in the four months since Griner's arrest in Russia on drug-related charges. That was to have changed Saturday, when a long-awaited call was to have finally taken place. But the day came and went without any contact, leaving an anguished Cherelle Griner to wonder what went wrong and to suspect at least initially that Russian authorities had thwarted the call.

Cherelle Griner said she was still hoping to talk to or meet with President Joe Biden, but “at this point it's starting to feel like a no.”
Wife? I think they mean lesbian lover.
Without Griner, the WNBA’s ratings could be really low! Lol
“Her wife”: two mutually exclusive words. The idiocy continues….
With all the other problems the US has, I would think getting some dyke basketball player who hates and doesn’t respect her country back to a country she hates and doesn’t respect would be low on the priority list.
As pedo joe , who’s in charge of embassies, would say, tough stuff.
“Phoenix Mercury star Brittney Griner tried to call HERE WIFE nearly a dozen times...but they never connected”
That’s because Russia doesn’t recognize same-sex marriages. She should have tried calling someone related to her.
or “I DON’T WORK FOR YOU!”
Who gives a hoot on so many levels.
(can’t even spell ‘her’)
“Phoenix Mercury star Brittney Griner tried to call HER WIFE nearly a dozen times...but they never connected”
That’s because Russia doesn’t recognize same-sex marriages.
She should have tried calling someone related to her.
The phone lines at the embassy weren’t staffed? Typical government work ethic.
As much as we disagree with her lifestyle, she is still an American citizen detained in a foreign country on very suspect charges. The State Dept. should be doing everything they can to get her out.
The Russian government is under no obligation to recognize the unholy union of lesbians.
Wife? Don’t they have editors? Oh wait,,,,
😆
“...her wife...”
Makes the entire article absurd.
Maybe they were off celebrating Juneteenth.
They have been nursing the NBA tit their entire time.
Every single year they lose money.
A quality high school boys team would crush their all star team.
Do the crime, serve the time.
