WNBA star Brittney Griner and her wife Cherelle have expressed their concern and support for American journalist Evan Gershkovich, who has been detained in Russia on espionage charges. Griner, who was held in Russia for most of last year, urged the Biden administration to “use every tool possible” to secure Gershkovich's release. The Wall Street Journal, for which Gershkovich works, has denied the charges and called for his immediate release, and the Biden administration has said it is “deeply concerned” and working to secure his release.
