Stephen Curry Calls For Brittney Griner's Release During GSW Ring Ceremony On Opening Night

Stephen Curry took a moment to honor Britney Griner during the Golden State Warriors' championship ring ceremony on Opening Night wishing the hooper a happy 32nd birthday and supporting the efforts to bring her home. We want to continue to use our platform and the opportunity to shoutout a very special member of the basketball community Brittney Griner's birthday is today," Curry said before the Warriors hung their fourth banner in eight years. She's 32 years old. We want to continue to let her name be known. And, we pray that it's been 243 days since she's been wrongfully incarcerated in Russia. We hope that she comes home soon and everybody's doing their part to get her home. Griner, who's been in custody in Russia since February, briefly thanked her supporters during what should have been a special day saying in a statement, "Thank you everyone for fighting so hard to get me home. As for the Warriors, their rings (made by Jason of Beverly Hills) are incredible they feature 16 carats of yellow and white diamonds set in yellow gold to represent their 16 wins in the playoffs. It's the first championship ring to be made up of mostly yellow diamonds -- in honor of the team's "golden age.
