Dennis Rodman reverses course, says he’s not going to Russia to seek Brittney Griner’s release

During the weekend, the former NBA player reportedly told a news outlet he was going “to Russia to help that girl.”

Just two days after former NBA player Dennis Rodman told a news outlet that he was going abroad because he “got permission to go to Russia to help that girl,” he said the trip would not happen.

He reversed course soon after the U.S. State Department announced that Rodman’s trip would not be on behalf of the United States.

NBC News reported Saturday that Rodman, while in a Washington, D.C., restaurant, made the statement to the media outlet about his planned travel to seek the release of WNBA player Brittney Griner.

Still love the Bad Boys of the 1980s. It was the best time to have season Pistons tickets, sigh. I wish he had gotten better mental health support.
