Russian state TV released a photo Tuesday of detained WNBA star Brittney Griner in custody after her February arrest.

The photo shows the 31-year-old holding a piece of paper with her name on it. Griner, who was playing pro basketball in the off-season in Russia, was detained at the airport after Russian officials said they found cannabis oil in her luggage.

The WNBA said in a statement, “Brittney Griner has the WNBA’s full support and our main priority is her swift and safe return to the United States.”
