Brittney Griner, at this time last year, was being held in Russia on drug charges, sparking international outrage that she was being wrongfully detained.
LAS VEGAS — Brittney Griner made an emphatic and emotional return to the WNBA’s midseason showcase event.
The sellout crowd roared when Griner was introduced and, clearly moved by the ovation, she tapped her chest over her heart with her right hand. There was no doubt that a year after being forced to miss this event while detained in Russia, Griner was the star of the show. Griner led Team Stewart, captained by the New York Liberty’s Breanna Stewart, to a 143-127 victory over Team Wilson, led by the Las Vegas Aces’ A’ja Wilson. The 143 points and 270 combined points are All-Star Game records.
