Brittney Griner's wife details events surrounding WNBA star's release in chat with Gayle King

After the news broke that Brittney Griner was released by Russia in a one-for-one prisoner swap, her wife spoke to CBS News' Gayle King about how she learned the WNBA star would finally be free after 10 months in Russian prisons.

King recalled hearing her phone ring Thursday night as she was about to go on stage at an event. The person on the other end of the line was Cherelle Griner, Brittney Griner's wife.

"I was very surprised she was calling at this particular time," King said. "I thought, 'What could this be?' So, I started asking her about her day."
