WNBA All-Star Game 2023: Location, schedule, rosters, news, more - ESPN
The starters and reserves have been revealed and the teams have been drafted for the 2023 WNBA All-Star Game, with a league-high four players from the Las Vegas Aces selected to play in Saturday's contest (8:30 p.m. ET, ABC/ESPN App) at Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas.
As the top two vote-getters, the Aces' A'ja Wilson and New York Liberty's Breanna Stewart are team captains for the second consecutive year. It is the fifth All-Star selection for both players, who drafted their teams July 8. Wilson selected Aces teammate Chelsea Gray with the No. 1 pick, while Stewart picked Phoenix Mercury center Brittney Griner.
An WNBA All-Star Game starter in her return season from detainment in Russia, Griner is an All-Star for the ninth time, including last year when she was named an honorary All-Star by commissioner Cathy Engelbert.
On Tuesday, Engelbert named Atlanta Dream guard Rhyne Howard an All-Star to replace the injured Elena Delle Donne.
The Dream and Liberty each had three players selected as All-Stars. All 12 teams had at least one player selected.
The 2023 WNBA All-Star Game will be played at 8:30 p.m. ET on Saturday on ABC. The game can also be streamed on the ESPN App.
