Rumors Of Brittney Griner And Laker Star Anthony Davis Once Dating Resurfaced Amid 9-Year Jail WNBA Star

JAKARTA - Rumors about Brittney Griner dating Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis have resurfaced as geopolitical discussions around the WNBA basketball player's arrest and sentencing in Russia continue.

Two-time WNBA Defensive Player of the Year and seven-time WNBA All-Star title holder Griner was detained in Russia after being suspected of possessing vape cartridges.

Griner received a nine-year sentence earlier this month after being found guilty of drug-related offences. According to his defense team, on the charges, they will appeal.

Recently, rumors linking Griner to Davis and making headlines in 2015 resurfaced. According to rumors, Grinner started dating Davis shortly after he split with another WNBA star, Glory Johnson.

After Griner filed for divorce from his same-sex partner, Johnson, after they used IVF to conceive twins, the divorce was finally finalized.

Griner then reportedly began dating Davis, who was then a New Orleans Pelicans star.

Initially, Griner and his new partner kept their relationship a secret. But eventually Davis started talking more about it.

"He was everything to me... We have an amazing relationship and have a lot in common," Davis said, according to unverified reports quoted by Marca on Monday.

"We even wear the same size clothes and shoes, so sometimes he borrows a shirt or two from me."

Two years later, while Griner is serving his sentence in a Russian prison, the love story is rekindled. He was detained in February after being arrested at Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport.

According to a report from CBS Sports, Russia's Federal Customs Service found a vape cartridge with cannabis-concentrated cannabis oil in its trunk.
