Brittney Griner is facing nearly a decade behind bars. A Russian court found the WNBA star guilty of drug possession and smuggling on Thursday, more than five months after she was detained on drug charges. A judge determined that the athlete had committed the crime deliberately and sentenced her to nine years in prison and a 1 million ruble fine, which amounts to approximately $16,000.
