Brittney Griner made an emphatic and emotional return to the WNBA’s mid-season showcase event.
She scored 18 points, including her team’s first six and put down two dunks in the league’s All-Star Game on Saturday night.
“To have that ovation and all those little memories that I can cherish now, it means the world,” Griner said. “So it was no question I was going to come and play. They have never wavered in their support.” Team Stewart’s Jewell Loyd of the Seattle Storm broke the All-Star Game scoring record with 31 points, setting the mark on a pass from Griner.. Maya Moore and Kelsey Plum each had the previous record with 30 points. Loyd earned MVP honors for the game.
