We're not hearing much about jailed WNBA star Brittney Griner. Could that be good?

A Russian court announced it has extended the arrest of WNBA star Brittney Griner until May 19, according to the Russian state news agency TASS. Griner was detained at a Moscow-area airport in February after Russian authorities said a search of her luggage revealed vape cartridges containing hashish oil.

Media coverage of Griner's arrest on alleged drug charges in Russia has remained somewhat muted. Some say it's because of her skin color, but others say it's part of a bigger strategy to get her home.
