Griner’s wife Cherelle recently shared the story of Emad Shargi. She made a plea to the President that Shargi should be brought back home. Shargi has been held captive in Iran for the last five years. He is an American-Iranian businessman who was held on espionage charges by the Iranian authorities.

Although Shargi’s family made numerous pleas to the government, their requests went unheard. But now with the momentum and influence attached to the Griner family, Shargi’s family may soon receive some hopeful news. Cherelle shared Shargi’s story on her Instagram. The WNBA star’s wife often uses her platform to highlight such issues.

Amidst her attempts to bring Americans back to their home soil, Charelle and Griner’s fans received some exciting news. The 8x WNBA All-Star has not played a game since February 2022. She was detained in Russia for carrying cannabis oil and returned back home in December.

As it turns out, the Phoenix Mercury center recently returned to practice with her team. Griner’s teammate Diana Taurasi also shared her feelings with ESPN before Griner’s return. She said “I think she?s gotten better”, while hoping for a great outcome from this season with Griner’s return to the court.

The Phoenix Mercury’s social handle announced the return of Griner in a post. The post was captioned, “It?s one thing to be back on the court, it?s another thing to be back at home. Be back with BG at Footprint Center on May 21st ?.”

Following this, WNBA fans, along with Cherelle, rushed to the comments to show their excitement. Here are some of the most notable comments:
