Lakers star LeBron James heavily criticized the United States’ handling of Brittney Griner’s detainment.
There is also no mention of other detained Americans in the trailer.
“I’m accepting that the administration is doing everything they can right now," Silver said. “There are some seriously complex geopolitical issues here. And I’m sure as invariably as they are more focused on Brittney, there are other families who are of course concerned about their loved ones who are being held against their will in Russia right now. ... There are very difficult issues that the Biden administration has to face in terms of what's appropriate.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said Washington will continue to work for the release of Griner, as well as other Americans held by Moscow, including former Marine Paul Whelan.
