Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese headline Team WNBA All-Star squad - ESPN

Rookie sensations Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever and Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky headline the 12-player Team WNBA that will face the U.S. women's national team in Phoenix on July 20 in the 2024 WNBA All-Star Game, the league announced Tuesday night.

Clark and Reese, the respective No. 1 and No. 7 picks in the 2024 draft, are the only first-time All-Stars of the group.

Dating to their playing days at Iowa and LSU, respectively, the dynamic pair and their on-court rivalry have helped propel women's basketball to a new era of growth. Their three meetings across the first two months of the WNBA season were decided by a combined 10 points, and the soon-to-be All-Star teammates are the clear front-runners in the Rookie of the Year race, with Clark taking home Rookie of the Month for May and Reese earning the honor for June.

The Team WNBA roster is also highlighted by nine-time All-Star Nneka Ogwumike and six-time All-Star DeWanna Bonner. Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell give Indiana — which has seen an explosion of interest with Clark in tow — the most selections of any team with three.

The group is rounded out by the Connecticut Sun's Brionna Jones, Atlanta Dream's Allisha Gray, Los Angeles Sparks' Dearica Hamby, New York Liberty's Jonquel Jones, Minnesota Lynx's Kayla McBride and Dallas Wings' Arike Ogunbowale.

The top 10 All-Star vote-getters — determined by 50% fan voting, 25% current player voting and 25% media voting — were automatically named to the All-Star Game, with those who weren't previously named to the Olympic 5-on-5 team assigned to Team WNBA.

Those 10 players were, in alphabetical order: Boston, Clark, Napheesa Collier, Kahleah Copper, Hamby, Sabrina Ionescu, Ogunbowale, Breanna Stewart, A'ja Wilson
