Breanna Stewart couldn’t help but break out in a wide grin during media availability Friday ahead of the 2023 WNBA All-Star Game.
The former UConn star was seated next to longtime USA basketball teammate Brittney Griner, who she’d drafted to play for Team Stewart in Saturday night’s game in Las Vegas.
Just a year ago, Stewart and her other WNBA counterparts were using this weekend as a platform to bring attention to the fact that Griner was being wrongfully detained overseas.
