Brittney Griner’s lawyer announced Friday that her pre-trial incarceration in Russia had been extended by one month.

Griner’s lawyer, Alexander Boikov, told The Associated Press that the relatively brief extension of incarceration indicated that the matter would be tried shortly.

Griner, a two-time Olympic gold medallist, was stopped at the Moscow airport after vape cartridges containing cannabis oil were allegedly discovered in her luggage, a crime punishable by up to ten years in prison.

According to the Biden administration, Griner, 31, is being unlawfully held. The WNBA and US officials have worked to free her, but there has been no visible movement.

Brittney Griner’s detention has been extended 30 days by Russian authorities. Her request for house arrest has also been denied.

Earlier this month, the U.S. State Department classified Griner as “wrongfully detained” by Russia. pic.twitter.com/Bs8JKLl3Iu

It’s been 429 days since I’ve played basketball, but that means nothing compared to the 85 days of our sister Brittney Griner being wrongfully detained in Russia. It is time for her to come home. Know that we are watching @WhiteHouse. Know that we are paying attention. #WeAreBG
