Robert Horry, who won seven NBA championships, talks to Fox News Digital about the Lakers, LeBron James and Brittney Griner.

Brittney Griner reportedly filed an appeal of her nine-year sentence for bringing vape cartridges containing oils derived from cannabis through a Moscow airport on Monday.

Griner’s lawyer Maria Blagovolina told RIA Novosti the appeal was filed. Griner was also fined 1 million rubles – the equivalent to about $16,400.

The 31-year-old was arrested in February in Russia. She was returning to her Russian basketball team, UMMC Ekaterinburg, after there was a pause in the season for international play.
