Three former Notre Dame women's basketball players make WNBA All-Star roster

Three former Notre Dame women’s basketball players will compete in the upcoming WNBA All-Star Game, which will take place at 8:30 p.m. ET Saturday, July 19, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

In her first season at the professional level, just a few months removed from the conclusion of her college career, Sonia Citron made the cut. She’s joined as a reserve by fellow former Notre Dame guards Skylar Diggins, in her 11th WNBA season, and Jackie Young, in her seventh.

Here are snippets on those three plus an extensive look at the entire 2025 WNBA All-Star contingent, which will be drafted into two teams by a pair of captains in an ESPN broadcast at 7 p.m. Tuesday, July 8, courtesy of a press release from the WNBA.

Sonia Citron: The No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft presented by State Farm, Citron has played in all 18 games for the Mystics. Among current rookies, the 6-1 guard ranks second in scoring (14.6 ppg), third in rebounding (4.9 rpg), and fifth in assists (2.0 apg).

Skylar Diggins: Now in her 11^th WNBA season, Diggins 5,155 career points rank fifth among active players behind leader Tina Charles, Stewart, Brittney Griner, and Jewell Loyd.  This is the first All-Star nod as a member of the Storm for the 5-9 guard, who made her All-Star debut in 2014 and most recently played in the 2022 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game. Diggins ranks 10th in the league in scoring this season (18.5 ppg) and tied for fourth in assists (5.9 apg).

Jackie Young: The No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 WNBA Draft presented by State Farm and a two-time WNBA champion with Las Vegas, Young is an All-Star for the fourth consecutive season. The 6-0 guard ranks second on the Aces in scoring, averaging 17.3 points, the second-best figure of her career. She also ranks second among Aces players in assists (3.7 apg).
