LeBron James backs off apparent criticism of U.S. efforts to free Brittney Griner

LeBron James is publicly criticizing the United States' handling of WNBA All-Star Brittney Griner's case in a trailer for an upcoming episode of his television show, "The Shop: Uninterrupted."

Griner is on trial in Russia for drug possession. She pleaded guilty last week and will appear again in court on Thursday.

"Now, how can she feel like America has her back?" James asks in the trailer. "I would be feeling like, 'Do I even wanna go back to America?'"
