Griner was returning to Russia to play during the WNBA’s offseason when she was detained on Feb. 17, 2022, at Sheremetyevo International Airport in Khimki after the cartridges were found.
“Have you ever forgot your keys in your car? Left your car running? Have you ever– you know, where’s my glasses? They’re on top of your head. Where’s my phone? Oh, it’s in my pocket. It’s just so easy to have a mental lapse,” Griner said. “Granted, my mental lapse was on a more grand scale, but it doesn’t take away from how that can happen.”
