WNBA star Brittney Griner is pubically sharing some details about her harrowing experience during her time in a Russian prison. Griner sat down with ABC News' "Good Morning America" and fielded questions about her nearly 10-month detainment and imprisonment.

She was arrested in February 2022 after authorities found vape cartridges containing cannabis oil in her luggage at a Russian airport. 

"My life is over right here," Griner said as she recalled the moments after she realized the cartridges were in her bag.

Griner was detained and later transferred to a Russian penal colony roughly 300 miles outside of Moscow following a nine-year prison sentence.

In December 2022, Griner was released in a prisoner exchange for convicted Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout. ABC's "Good Morning America" shared a clip on Tuesday of the upcoming interview with Griner.

"I was just so scared," Griner said as she wiped away tears.
