Brittney Sykes, playing for the Toronto Tempo, is making a strong case for her first-ever WNBA All-Star selection. With a scoring average of 20.7 points per game, she currently ranks third in the league. Sykes' performance follows a season where she was controversially not voted into the initial All-Star roster but later replaced an injured player. Despite concerns over team efficiency and a sub-.500 record for the Tempo, Sykes' contributions have been significant, helping the team secure seven wins in their inaugural season. Her consistency and scoring ability may lead to recognition at the upcoming All-Star weekend in Chicago.
