As Brittney Griner's detainment in Russia nears 100 days, former WNBA star and reigning NCAA championship-winning head coach Dawn Staley is offering South Carolina's ceremonial opportunity to visit U.S. President Joe Biden at the White House to Griner's wife, Cherelle.

In an emotional interview published Wednesday, Cherelle Griner told ESPN's Angela Rye that she had requested a meeting with Biden but had not yet been granted an opportunity to discuss the situation.

Griner was arrested at an airport near Moscow on Feb. 17 for allegedly possessing vape cartridges containing hash oil, a derivative of cannabis. Russia invaded Ukraine a week later, leading many to presume that the Phoenix Mercury star is being held as a "political bargaining chip," as Griner's agent, Lindsay Kagawa Colas, tweeted last week.
