Los Angeles Lakers player Davis called terrible conditions for Greiner in Russia
The player of the National Basketball Association (NBA) Los Angeles Lakers club Anthony Davis spoke about the release of compatriot Brittney Griner. About this in Twitter journalist Dave McMenamin said.
He called the incident incredible, and also noted that in Russia, the 32-year-old basketball player had terrible conditions of detention. “When I saw her, I didn’t recognize her because she cut off her dreadlocks. I don’t know if she did it voluntarily,” Davis added.
Greiner, who was found guilty in Russia of drug smuggling, was exchanged on December 8 for Viktor Bout, a Russian convicted in the United States. The American was sentenced to nine years in prison in a penal colony.
Greiner was detained at Sheremetyevo Airport on February 17. In the luggage of the athletes, they found several vapes with banned cannabis oil.
