Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark, standout rookies in the 2024 WNBA season, have been selected to the Team WNBA roster for the upcoming All-Star Game. This marks the first time they will play together, despite their storied careers at LSU and Iowa, respectively. The game, scheduled for July 20 in Phoenix, will feature Team WNBA facing off against Team USA, the U.S. women’s national team.

Clark expressed excitement about this unique opportunity during a press conference, noting the significance of playing alongside Reese rather than against her. However, she emphasized the importance of not overshadowing their teammates’ achievements, highlighting the depth and talent of both squads beyond their personal storylines.

For Reese, the selection was an emotional moment, reflecting on her journey and the challenges she faced entering the league. She thanked her teammates and coaches for their support, underscoring her gratitude for the opportunity to represent Chicago and showcase her skills on such a prominent stage.

Joining Reese and Clark on Team WNBA are veterans like Nneka Ogwumike and DeWanna Bonner, alongside a formidable lineup including Brionna Jones, Jonquel Jones, and Arike Ogunbowale. Team USA, led by stars like A’ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart, promises a competitive matchup in what is expected to be a thrilling exhibition of talent and skill.

The 2024 WNBA All-Star Game will take place at the Footprint Center, airing live on ABC and available for streaming on DirecTV Stream, offering fans a chance to witness some of the league’s brightest stars competing on one court.
