Griner is set to remain under arrest in Moscow until at least May after a court granted an extension for investigators, as reported by Russia’s state news agency TASS. She could face up to 10 years in prison if found guilty of bringing drugs into Russia.
Griner, a Phoenix Mercury star, has won WNBA, Euroleague and Olympic titles. She spends her off-season competing in Russia, most recently for UMMC Ekaterinburg. Off the court, Griner is seen as an LGBTQ+ icon.

There are fears the basketball star could be used as a “high-profile hostage” after the US placed sanctions on Russia for the invasion of Ukraine last month. Proudfoot joins an array of high-profile figures calling for the safe return of Griner, including tennis legend Billie Jean King.
The 12-time Grand Slam winner posted on Twitter: “Brittney Griner has been on my mind all the time. We must do everything in our power to amplify her story and bring her home. “Sending peace and strength to Brittney, and love to her wife and family.
