Brittney Griner says while she was locked away in a prison cell in Russia, she contemplated dying by suicide several times.
The WNBA superstar told ABC News' Robin Roberts in a lengthy interview that aired Wednesday night the thoughts crept into her mind just after Russian authorities threw her behind bars for packing vape cartridges in her luggage at a Moscow airport in February 2022.
"I wanted to take my life more than once in the first weeks," Griner said.
