Steph Curry Speaks Out On The Brittney Griner Situation

Golden State Warriors point guard Steph Curry is becoming the latest NBA star to speak out on the Brittney Griner situation.

While the Celtics recently wore shirts pleading to get Griner home from her Russian detainment, Curry sat down with ESPN’s Malika Andrews to share his thoughts on the matter.

“It is an unfortunate situation, it’s a tragedy,” Curry said. “She needs to be home. She needs to be safe. She needs to be with her family.”

When Steph Curry was pressed on the US government getting more involved, he admitted that there was “something to that”. But for now, he insists that it’s just about awareness and people doing their part.

“Right now, it’s just about getting her home and everybody joining that effort, joining that front to make sure she’s talked about … I know those efforts are ongoing, and hopefully there’ll be some positive end to this story.”

The WNBA and NBA have been joining forces to help get Brittney Griner home. And hopefully more of the added attention from Steph Curry and others expedites the entire process and she’s back with her family soon.
