Russian news agencies reported that lawyers for the American basketball player filed an appeal of her Russian prison sentence for drugs possession.
The center for the Phoenix Mercury was found guilty on August 4. She was arrested at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport after her luggage was found to contain cannabis oil.

Lawyer Maria Blagovolina was quoted by Russian news agencies as saying that the appeal had been filed, but the grounds of the appeal were not clear.
