How to watch as 3 South Carolina women’s basketball alumni play in WNBA All-Star Game
Three former South Carolina women’s basketball players will play in the AT&T WNBA All-Star Game 2023 on Saturday in Las Vegas: A’ja Wilson, Aliyah Boston and Allisha Gray.
USC ties Notre Dame for the college program most present at this year’s game.
Wilson, a member of the Gamecocks’ 2017 NCAA championship team, earned the most All-Star fan votes (95,860) for the second consecutive year. Her first-place finish granted her captain status alongside the New York Liberty’s Breanna Stewart (who received 87,586 votes). Wilson drafted fellow Gamecocks Boston, a starter, and Gray, a reserve, to her squad.
Saturday marks Wilson’s third stint as an All-Star captain. The two-time MVP led her team to victory in 2019 and 2022.
