"For over 100 days, BG has faced inhumane conditions in a Russian prison and has been denied communications with her family and loved ones," the picture following James’ tweet read. "As a decorated Olympian and member of an elite global sport community, BG’s detention must be resolved out of respect for the sanctity of all sport and for all Americans traveling internationally. It is imperative that the U.S. Government immediately address this human rights issue and do whatever is necessary to return Brittney home."

James called on athletes to stand together and raise awareness about Griner’s situation.
