Caitlin Clark has taken the WNBA by storm,Johnathan Walker and in her rookie season, she's also an All-Star.
Clark was one of 12 players named a 2024 All-Star, and she isn't the only rookie that will be playing in this year's WNBA All-Star Game on July 20. Angel Reese also made the roster, meaning the two will be on the same team for the contest. Clark was the top vote getter in the fan voting portion.
Even with her popularity, Clark has put up All-Star worthy numbers. She averages 16.2 points (16th in WNBA) and 6.9 assists (3rd) per game, which lead all rookies. Reese has also put up her own impressive stats, averaging 13.3 points and leading the WNBA in rebounds with 11.4 boards per game. Clark was named the WNBA's rookie of the month for May and Reese was rookie of the month for June.
This year's All-Star Game won't be your typical best of the WNBA against each other. Instead, it will serve as preparation for the 2024 Paris Olympics, with the USA women's basketball team taking on the rest of the All-Stars. So All-Star selections such as A'ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart will play for Team USA for the All-Star Game in Phoenix.
The league determined All-Star selections by fans (50% of the vote), current WNBA players (25%) and national media (25 percent). The top was narrowed, and those inside the top 10 but not on Team USA were selected to the All-Star Game — Clark, Aliyah Boston, Dearica Hamby and Arike Ogunbowale. To determine the rest of the WNBA team, the league comprised the names of the next 36 highest vote-getters and the remaining spots were voted on by the 12 WNBA coaches.
