The WNBA All-Star Game 2024 is set to take place on July 20 in Phoenix, featuring a matchup between Team WNBA and the USA Women's National Team. The rosters for both teams were announced on July 3, with several first-time All-Stars making the cut. Among them are Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever and Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky.
Clark, who was also named Rookie of the Month for June, received a record number of fan votes to earn her spot on Team WNBA. She has been a standout player since her college days at Iowa and has continued to impress in the WNBA with her scoring ability and leadership.
Reese, who was drafted seventh overall by the Chicago Sky after an impressive college career at LSU, expressed gratitude and relief upon learning she had made the All-Star team. She has been a key contributor for the Sky this season, averaging 14.5 points and 7 rebounds per game.
Team WNBA also includes veterans such as Nneka Ogwumike of the Los Angeles Sparks, DeWanna Bonner of the Phoenix Mercury, Aliyah Boston of the Indiana Fever, Kelsey Mitchell of the Indiana Fever, and Brionna Jones of the Connecticut Sun. The USA Women's National Team roster includes stars like Diana Taurasi and A'ja Wilson.
The All-Star Game will offer fans a rare opportunity to see these top players go head-to-head in an exhibition setting. It is also a chance for fans to celebrate the talent and achievements of the WNBA's best players before they represent their countries in the Paris Olympics later this month.
The 2021 All-Star Game saw Team WNBA win against Team USA with a score of 93-85. This year's game is expected to be just as exciting and competitive.
