Brittney Griner's drug possession trial resumed Thursday with the head of the Russian club she plays for and a teammate from that squad testifying in support of her character and what the WNBA star has meant for women's basketball in the country.
Most journalists were denied access to Thursday’s session, but the director of UMMC Ekaterinburg, for which she plays during the WNBA offseason, told reporters afterward that he testified as a character witness.
“Today is the first day when we have seen our basketball player since February. Thank God, she feels well, looks good,” Rybakov said outside the courthouse in the Moscow suburb of Khimki, where the airport is located. “We miss her very much, we miss her energy,” Belyakova added."I was very happy to see her, and I hope this trial will be over soon and with a positive outcome.”
