Some scary news to wake up to this morning. 😔 • Brittney Griner is being transferred to a Russian penal colony -- a move her family has dreaded since Griner's August conviction on drug charges -- but her lawyers don't know where she is or where she's heading, her Russian legal team announced early Wednesday in Moscow. • Russian penal colonies are known for having far harsher conditions than the Moscow jail where Griner was originally being detained. • Officials have said they hoped Russia would be more inclined to negotiate in good faith once the Tuesday midterm elections were over, knowing that Vladimir Putin's government would not want to give President Joe Biden a potential political victory. • Her family may not know where she is for weeks. We need to work harder to #BringBGHome. 💜 • (c/o ESPN) • #breakingnews #womenssports #basketball
