According to reports, Brittney Griner is said to be “in good condition” following a visit from a member of the U.S. Embassy.
During a recent interview regarding Brittney Griner continuing to be held inside a Russian jail, U.S. State Department spokesperson Ned Price confirmed that an official from the United States Embassy in Moscow, Russia was recently granted consular access to Brittney and found her to be “in good condition.”

Price gave the update, saying “We were able to check on her condition, we will continue to work very closely with her legal team, with her broader network, to see to it that she is treated fairly. Our official found Brittney Griner to be in good condition and we will continue to do everything we can to see to that it she is treated fairly throughout this ordeal.”
