Brittney Griner was expected to arrive back in the United States early Friday after her release was secured in a swap with a convicted Russian arms dealer, putting an end to her 10 months of captivity in Russia that became a geopolitical bargaining chip between Washington and Moscow.
Ms. Griner will probably head to the Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, a facility the U.S. government has used to treat those in need of debriefing or sensitive medical care. There, she will be examined and receive any necessary treatment.
