As per news report of BBC, the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) player will remain in detention until at least 2 July, reports Tass. The Phoenix Mercury star was held on 17 February at a Moscow-area airport after cannabis oil was allegedly found in her luggage. Ms Griner, 31, could face 10 years in prison if convicted. On Tuesday, her detention was extended for an additional 18 days at "the request of the investigation", according to a representative from the Khimki Court of the Moscow Region, reports Tass.
