Basketball legend Lisa Leslie told the"I am Athlete" podcast that she was told not to make a"big fuss" over Brittney Griner's arrest by Russian authorities.
"What we were told, and again this is all sort of passed along through hearsay, but what we were told was to not make a big fuss about it so that they could not use her as a pawn, so to speak, in this situation in the war," Leslie said in a clip of the interview released Friday."So, to make it like it's not that important or don't make it where we're like, 'Free Brittney' and we start this campaign, and then it becomes something that they can use.
