2024 WNBA All-Star Game Roster Announced: Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese to Team Up Against Team USA for the First Time

The standout rookies will unite on Team WNBA for the All-Star Game scheduled for July 20 in Phoenix.

The 2024 WNBA All-Star rosters have been unveiled, and a major highlight is Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese transitioning from rivals to teammates for the first time.

Clark, who set the Division I all-time scoring record at Iowa, has brought her offensive prowess and impressive shooting to the WNBA. The Indiana Fever star led fan voting with 700,735 votes. Right behind her is teammate Aliyah Boston, last year’s Rookie of the Year, with 618,680 votes.

Reese also made the top five with 381,518 votes. The Chicago Sky star, a standout rebounder at LSU, now leads the WNBA in rebounds per game and holds a record streak of 11 consecutive double-doubles.

Clark and Reese have been seen as rivals since facing each other in the 2023 NCAA championship, where Kim Mulkey’s Tigers secured LSU’s first national basketball title. They have met three times this WNBA season, with the Fever winning two of those games. The Sky clinched the latest matchup, 88-87, on June 23, with Reese scoring 25 points and grabbing 16 rebounds.

About a week before the All-Star rosters were announced, Clark praised Reese’s “tremendous season” and expressed excitement about playing together for the first time.

The Sky secured an 85-77 victory against the Atlanta Dream on Tuesday, just before the All-Star rosters were announced. During her postgame press conference, Reese became emotional when asked about it.

“I’m just so happy. I know the work I put in,” Reese said. “Coming into the league, many doubted me and thought my game wouldn’t translate, that I wouldn’t be the player I was in college. … I can’t thank my teammates and coaches enough for believing in me and trusting me.”

Las Vegas Aces forward A’ja Wilson and New York Liberty forward Breanna Stewart were also among the top five in fan voting, but they won’t be joining Clark and Reese. Due to the Olympic year, Team USA will face off against Team WNBA during All-Star weekend.

The WNBA All-Star Game is set for July 20 at the Footprint Center in Phoenix.
