Sources confirm Griner has been seen multiple times a week since her initial detention and will be detained at least two more months.
Griner, who plays overseas during the WNBA off season, was reportedly stopped at an airport near Moscow after she was discovered to be transporting vape cartridges containing hashish oil or marijuana concentrate. In Russia, being caught with six grams of cannabis or less is a civil offense, but the Times has noted that Griner could be convicted for “large-scale transportation of drugs” and potentially face up to 10 years in prison.
Griner’s detention has set off alarm bells amongst family, fans, and political figures alike, as Griner is a queer Black woman trapped in Russia—a country that uses state-sponsored homophobia to maintain power—in the middle of a war and humanitarian crisis.Critics have also been quick to denounce the low pay WNBA players currently make, which has pushed prominent basketball stars to spend their off season playing in Russia.
