WNBA star Brittney Griner is reportedly well and has seen her legal team several times throughout her detention in Russia, said a source close to the situation.
News of Griner's condition comes after a Moscow court announced it extended the arrest of Griner until May 19, according to Russian state news agency TASS.
A court advocate said Griner should be kept under house arrest because their jail beds are a foot too short for Griner, who is 6 feet 9 inches tall, according to the Russian news service RIA Novosti. The US State Department official told CNN on Thursday that Russia must provide consular access to Griner and all US citizens detained in Russia, including those in pretrial detention.
