VILLENEUVE-D'ASCQ, France—Brittney Griner knows only too well the swirling emotions of being involved in a prisoner swap, and she said Thursday night she is “head over heels” that fellow Americans are coming home from Russia.
“Great day. It’s a great day. It’s a great day,“ Griner said after the U.S. women beat Belgium 87–74 to clinch a berth in the Paris Olympic Games quarterfinals. ”We’ll talk more about it later. But head over heels happy for the families right now. Any day that Americans come home, that’s a win. That’s a win.”
