CHICAGO — WNBA All-Star weekend feels just as packed as the rest of the season. The festivities begin on the Orange Carpet on Friday night, less than 24 hours after six teams total played in Indianapolis, Phoenix and Los Angeles. It's an early tip time on Sunday for the actual game, but then 10 teams are playing again Tuesday night.
And for the players here in Chicago, it's by no means a break. They'll do meet-and-greets with fans, work with partners on corporate activations and further promote the league at every turn. There's also a Her Time to Play clinic and Nike Nationals is in town at nearby McCormick Place.
