PHOENIX — Phoenix Mercury star Brittney Griner was seen in the stands of State Farm Stadium enjoying Super Bowl LVII on Sunday.
This is her third public appearance since she was released from Russia in December of 2022.
Griner also was seen at the WM Phoenix Open on Saturday with her wife, Cherelle Griner.
At the Super Bowl LVII, Griner can be seen alongside her wife in their Philadelphia Eagles jerseys.
The WNBA star returned to the United States two months ago after being detained in Russia for 10 months for drug smuggling charges. Griner was found with less than a gram of hash oil when traveling in the country and was sentenced to nine years in prison.
Griner's release came when the White House negotiated a high-profile prisoner exchange that sent arms dealer Viktor Bout back to Russia.
Her first public appearance was earlier this year at a Martin Luther King Jr. march in downtown Phoenix
