Jewell Loyd is a three-time WNBA All-Star and two-time champion with the Seattle Storm, and she’s doing her part to grow women’s basketball even further.

Griner was arrested last month at a Moscow airport for allegedly having vape cartridges containing oils derived from cannabis. On Thursday, Russian state media reported her detention was extended until May 19. A person close to the situation confirmed to Fox News Digital that Griner was doing OK, and the center’s Russian legal team has seen her multiple times over the course of the week.

BRITTNEY GRINER ARREST IN MIDST OF RUSSIA-UKRAINE WAR 'KIND OF A PERFECT STORM,' SPORTS ATTORNEY SAYS "The market is growing, and we’re able to play here and not overseas and have another life over there. That’s also another reason why I wanted to join this campaign and make it better for the next generation of female athletes growing up. If they want to, they can, but they shouldn’t have to play overseas."
