Brittney Griner's Return and Anthem Stand in WNBA Opening Night.

The 2023 WNBA season kicked off with the Washington Mystics dominating the New York Liberty, the Connecticut Sun holding off the Indiana Fever, the Chicago Sky cruising past the Minnesota Lynx, and the Phoenix Mercury losing to the Los Angeles Sparks in Brittney Griner's return. Aliyah Boston made her WNBA debut for the Fever, while Elena Delle Donne looked like her old self for the Mystics. Kahleah Copper led the Sky to victory, while the Lynx struggled with turnovers.
