NEW YORK -- Brittney Griner, who missed all of last season while imprisoned in Russia, was named Sunday as a starter for the WNBA All-Star Game on July 15 in Las Vegas.
It was Griner's ninth career All-Star selection, including last year, when she was named an honorary All-Star by WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert.
Griner was arrested last year in Russia for having cannabis oil in her luggage and sentenced to prison but freed last December in a prisoner exchange.
Griner has averaged 19.1 points, 6.4 rebounds, a league-best 2.4 blocked shots and 1.7 assists a game for the Phoenix Mercury, which has the WNBA's worst record at 2-10.
