An eventful 2023 WNBA All-Star Game saw Brittney Griner throw down and Jewell Loyd set a new game record with 31 points in Team Stewart's blowout win.
USA TODAY Sports' Mackenzie Salmon breaks down the biggest WNBA storylines heading into this weekend's All-Star Game.All-Star captain Breanna Stewart drafted Phoenix Mercury star Brittney Griner with her first overall pick because “we need her dunks.” Griner did just that Saturday in Las Vegas.
Griner triumphantly marked her return to the WNBA All-Star stage with a first-quarter slam, her sixth dunk at an All-Star Game, at Michelob ULTRA Arena in front of a sell-out crowd that included Sue Bird,"I called my knees and I talked to them to get me up," Griner said."We got it up there." Griner’s 18 points helped lift Team Stewart over Team Wilson, 143-127, handing the Las Vegas Aces’ A’ja Wilson her first loss as an All-Star captain. It was sweet revenge for Team Stewart, which lost the 2022 All-Star Game to Team Wilson.
