It’s been quite a year for Trinity Baptiste. She helped the Arizona Wildcats to their first national championship game last season, then went to Russia to start her professional career. Things went a little sideways.
“When Russia invaded Ukraine, I spoke to my agent and he told me the season might get canceled,” Baptiste said. “Then after that, he told me the season wasn’t gonna get canceled, but it was my decision to leave. The next day, I had a game and the embassy said that all Americans should leave...The next day, I was home.
