The Stars at the Sun game was played on July 10, 2010 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut, home of the Connecticut Sun. This game, unlike previous non-Olympic year games, was a contest between the USA women's national team and a team of WNBA All-Stars. This game is not considered a WNBA All-Star Game.[1] This was the third time Connecticut has hosted the mid-season basketball showcase, after previously hosting the 2005 and 2009 All-Star games.
