Rhyne Howard replacing Elena Delle Donne in 2023 WNBA All-Star Game

All is right in the world. Rhyne Howard is back in the WNBA All-Star Game.

After being left off of the initial roster, it was announced on Tuesday night by Commissioner Cathy Engelbert that Howard has been tabbed as an injury replacement for Washington Mystics forward Elena Delle Donne. The Atlanta Dream guard, now in her second WNBA season after being drafted No. 1 overall in 2022, will play in her second All-Star appearance after making the team as a rookie last season.

Although she’s being added as an injury replacement, Howard more than deserved her spot.
