Rookie sensations Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever and Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky have been named to the 2024 WNBA All-Star roster.
Clark and Reese, the respective No. 1 and No. 7 picks in the 2024 draft, are the only first-time All-Stars in this year’s lineup.
Clark & Reese to play together at All-Star game
Their inclusion marks a significant milestone, dating back to their collegiate days at Iowa and LSU.
The pair’s three meetings in the first two months of the WNBA season were decided by a combined 10 points, and both are front-runners for the Rookie of the Year award.
Clark earned Rookie of the Month honors for May, while Reese received the accolade for June.
Reese shared her emotional reaction upon learning of her All-Star selection after a victorious game against Atlanta.
“I’m just so happy. I know the work I put in,” said Reese, who tallied 12 points and 19 rebounds in the win.
“Coming into this league, so many people doubted me and didn’t think my game would translate… But I trusted the process and believed. I can’t thank my teammates and coaches enough for believing in me.”
Clark and Reese finished first and fifth in fan voting, respectively.
The countdown begins… ⏳

2024 WNBA All-Star game to be played in Phoenix
The 2024 WNBA All-Star Game, set for July 20 in Phoenix, will feature the league’s brightest stars.
Team WNBA will face off against the U.S. Women’s National Team in a sold-out event at Footprint Center, home of the three-time WNBA champion Phoenix Mercury.
The game will be broadcast on ABC at 8:30 p.m. ET / 5:30 p.m. PT.
The All-Star festivities will include the STARRY® WNBA 3-Point Contest and the Kia WNBA Skills Challenge on July 19.
Despite limited ticket availability, fans are eager to witness these thrilling competitions.
The initial All-Star selection process involved fan voting (50%), current WNBA players (25%), and a national panel of sportswriters and broadcasters (25%).
The top 10 vote-getters, in alphabetical order, were: Aliyah Boston (Indiana Fever), Caitlin Clark (Indiana Fever), Napheesa Collier (Minnesota Lynx), Kahleah Copper (Phoenix Mercury), Dearica Hamby (Los Angeles Sparks), Sabrina Ionescu (New York Liberty), Arike Ogunbowale (Dallas Wings), Breanna Stewart (New York Liberty), A’ja Wilson (Las Vegas Aces), and Jackie Young (Las Vegas Aces).
Boston, Clark, Hamby, and Ogunbowale, who are not on the USA Women’s National Team, automatically joined Team WNBA.
The next 36 highest vote-getters, not on the national team, were considered by the 12 WNBA head coaches to fill the remaining roster spots.
