WNBA announces starters for 2025 All-Star Game

It was announced Sunday that Caitlin Clark and Napheesa Collier were voted as the two captains for the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game. Now they know which other players they’ll be taking the court with for the opening tip.

The WNBA revealed the other eight All-Star starters on Monday. The group was determined based on a vote that included fans, players and media members.

Other players to be named starters included Las Vegas Aces forward A’ja Wilson, who took home her third MVP award in the 2024 season. Dallas Wings rookie Paige Bueckers also made the cut for her first All-Star appearance, and you can view all 10 players below.

2025 WNBA All-Star starters

• G Caitlin Clark, Indiana Fever
• F Napheesa Collier, Minnesota Lynx
• C Aliyah Boston, Indiana Fever
• G Paige Bueckers, Dallas Wings
• G Allisha Gray, Atlanta Dream
• G Sabrina Ionescu, New York Liberty
• F Nneka Ogwumike, Seattle Storm
• F Satou Sabally, Phoenix Mercury
• F Breanna Stewart, New York Liberty
• C A’ja Wilson, Las Vegas Aces

Bueckers is the only starter making a first-time appearance, becoming just the sixth rookie in league history to do so. She is putting up 18.4 points, 5.8 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game and joins names such as Clark, Brittney Griner and Maya Moore as rookie All-Stars.

More history was made with the selection of Nneka Ogwumike, who is set to make the 10th All-Star appearance of her career. That ties her for the third-most of all-time, trailing only Sue Bird (13) and Diana Taurasi (11).

As you can see from this list, the Indiana Fever and the New York Liberty were the only teams with multiple players named as WNBA All-Star starters. Clark and Boston finished first and third, respectively, in the fan vote. However, Clark is only the ninth-most voted in guard among other players in the league.

Of course, there were also a few players who didn’t make the starting lineups that stand out. That includes Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese and Phoenix Mercury forward Alyssa Thomas, each of whom could have made a case.

Both those players still have a shot to be named All-Stars, however, as the reserves are set to be announced by the league coaches on July 6. After that, Clark and Collier will draft their teams from the available pool on July 8. The WNBA All-Star Game will tip off at 8:30 p.m. ET on July 19th from Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
