A’Ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart can start mapping out their draft boards.
The WNBA on Saturday revealed its 12 reserves for the 2023 All-Star game, which will be played on July 15 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Wilson and Stewart – who were the preseason favorites in the MVP race – were first and second in fan voting, respectively, and were among the 10 starters announced for the All-Star game last week. The starters were determined by a vote, while the reserves were picked by the league’s head coaches. On July 8 at 1 p.m. ET on ESPN, Wilson and Stewart will draft from that pool of remaining 20 players to make up the All-Star teams.
Team Wilson will be coaches by Aces’ head coach Becky Hammon and Team Stewart will be led by Connecticut Sun head coach Stephanie White. Hammon’s Aces and White’s Sun own the two best records in the WNBA so far this season. The Aces lead all teams with four All-Star selections.
Below is the full list of All-Stars for 2023, which includes the likes of dime-dropping Chelsea Gray, autograph-signing Arike Ogunbowale, and Rookie of the Year frontrunner Aliyah Boston.
