Basketball star LeBron James has walked back comments he made regarding imprisoned WNBA star Brittney Griner, implying that she should not want to return to the United States.
Griner has been imprisoned in Russia since February after authorities arrested her for having a vape cartridge infused with CBD in her luggage.
