| I figure Sykes or Atkins might well get in, because Delle Donne being out removes the only Mystic involved (and until then every team was represented). What I'd like to see happen is Brionna Jones be named as a replacement - because she should've got in to begin with - and then obviously be immediately replaced herself. |

Btw, Loyd is not on the Storm injury report and I have heard she will be playing in the game against the Mystics today. So she should be able to make the All Star Game.

| This is the fourth time Elena Delle Donne has been unable to play in an All Star game she was named to, the most in WNBA history

That feels like it might be close to a record across most leagues. Has to be pretty rare to be good enough to get voted in but not healthy enough to participate over and over again. |

Special rules for the ASG
https://www.wnba.com/news/wnba-all-star-2023-special-rules
| Quote: |
4-Point Shot
Four circles – two at each end of the court – will be placed above the current three-point line (22 feet, 1.75 inches from the center of the rim) at a distance of 28-feet from the rim.
Each circle shall be designated as the 4-point shot area.
Any shot made by a player who has contact within the 4-point circle upon attempting the shot will be credited as four points.
20-Second Shot Clock
The shot clock will be shortened from 24 to 20 seconds. The shot clock will still reset to 14 seconds after an offensive rebound.
Automatic Points for Free-Throw Attempts: “No Free-Throws”
In circumstances that would require a player to shoot free throw(s), the player will automatically be credited with the maximum available point(s) given the situation. In such cases, the box score will reflect the appropriate number of free-throws as attempted and as made.
The only time in which players will physically attempt a free throw will be during the last two minutes of the fourth quarter and during the entirety of any overtime period(s). |

Clearly an Aces-centric crowd. Not a ton of people. Fun atmosphere!
Skills: Teams Liberty and Aces to semis, Aces won!
