Brittney Griner of the Phoenix Mercury was announced Sunday as a starter for the WNBA’s upcoming All-Star Game.

Griner’s nine career All-Star Game selections are more than any other starting all-star this year, according to the Mercury.

The All-Star Game will be played in Las Vegas on July 15.Griner – a two-time Olympic gold medalist – has averaged over 19 points and more than six rebounds a game in 2023 after missing all of last season as she spent nearly 300 days in Russian custody.

The center was released in December last year as part of a prisoner exchange.
