A U.S. official gave an update on Brittney Griner, who has been detained in Russia for more than a month for allegedly possessing oils derived from cannabis in vape cartridges.

U.S. State Department spokesperson Ned Price said on CNN on Wednesday that an official from the U.S. Embassy was able to see the WNBA star recently and she was said to be "in good condition." The Russian government allowed the U.S. to give consular access to Griner weeks after her arrest was reported.

"There's only so much I can say but what I can say is that our official found Brittney Griner to be in good condition. And we will continue to do everything we can to see to it that she is treated fairly throughout this ordeal," Price said.

Price said the U.S. will continue to work closely with her legal team in order for her to get fair treatment.

U.S. State Department officials said last week they were working to get access to Griner. Russian news agency TASS reported Thursday that a petition to extend the detention of the 31-year-old All-Star until May 19 was granted by a court in Moscow as an investigation into her alleged crimes continues.

A source close to the situation told Fox News Digital that Griner has been "OK" and her Russian legal team has been able to get access to her multiple times a week since she was detained.
