A court near Moscow has extended the detention of WNBA star Brittney Griner until May 19, according to the Russian state news agency TASS.
Griner was detained at a Moscow airport, reportedly in mid-February, after Russian authorities said a search of her luggage revealed vape cartridges allegedly containing oil derived from cannabis, which could carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.
The case of the 31-year-old Griner, one of the most recognisable players in women’s basketball, comes amid sharply heightened tensions between Washington and Moscow over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
