The WNBA All-Star game takes place tonight in Las Vegas, with coverage starting at 8:30 p.m. ET on ABC, and will feature two former UConn players.
The New York Liberty’s Breanna Stewart is a team captain; she selected Minnesota’s Napheesa Collier for her squad so both former Huskies are on the same team. The two recently announced plans to launch a professional women’s basketball league together.
On Friday, UConn legend Sue Bird, in her first year after retiring from the WNBA, has been making her presence felt across the league’s All-Star Weekend festivities. At the WNBA Live fan festival, Bird joined Candace Parker and Ari Chambers for a fireside chat on the state of the game.
