Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, two of the most promising rookies in the WNBA, will team up for the first time as All-Stars in the 2024 WNBA All-Star game. The event is scheduled to take place on July 20 at Footprint Center in Phoenix.
Clark, who was selected first overall by the Indiana Fever in this year's draft, received a record number of fan votes (700,735) and currently leads the league in scoring (16.2 points per game), assists (6.9 per game), and 3-pointers made (56).
Reese, who was picked seventh overall by the Chicago Sky, has been a dominant force in the league as well, leading it in rebounding and setting a new WNBA record for consecutive double-doubles (11). She was named Rookie of the Month for June.
Both Clark and Reese have faced each other three times this season, with Clark's Fever holding a 2-1 lead in the series. Despite their college rivalry, they are excited about the opportunity to team up on Team WNBA for this prestigious event.
The All-Star game will feature two teams: Team WNBA and Team USA. The latter is made up of players who will represent the United States at the Paris Olympics later in July. Some notable names include Aja Wilson, Breanna Stewart, Brittney Griner, and Diana Taurasi.
The All-Star game is a highly anticipated event for basketball fans and an opportunity for players to showcase their skills in a more relaxed setting. It's also a chance for rookies like Clark and Reese to learn from some of the best players in the league.
