At the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game, the Minnesota Lynx’s Napheesa Collier and the Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark will serve as captains. Collier, who received the second-most fan votes (1,176,020), is viewed as the leading MVP candidate. Clark led the league with the most fan votes (a record 1,293,526).
On Monday (June 30), the league announced the remaining eight All-Star starters, led by forward Nneka Ogwumike of the Seattle Storm with her 10th All-Star selection, tying her for the third most in WNBA history with Tamika Catchings and Brittney Griner, behind only Sue Bird (13) and Diana Taurasi (11). Adding to the impressive stats, New York Liberty forward Breeanna Stewart and Las Vegas Aces center A’ja Wilson were selected as All-Stars for the seventh time.
Three-time All-Star Aliyah Boston of the Fever and Satou Sabally of the Phoenix Mercury will round out the frontcourt. In the backcourt, is No. 1 overall draft pick Paige Bueckers of the Dallas Wings, three-time All-Star Allisha Gray of the Atlanta Dream, and four-time All-Star Sabrina Ionescu of the Liberty.
Voting is now underway for the 12 All-Star Game reserves, who will be selected by the league’s head coaches. The head coaches will vote for three guards, five frontcourt players, and four players at either position, regardless of conference, but they are not permitted to vote for their own players.
On Sunday, July 6, at noon ET, the 12 reserves will be announced across WNBA social and digital platforms.
After the reserves are selected, the two All-Star captains will then draft their rosters by selecting first from the remaining eight players in the pool of starters and then from the pool of 12 reserves.
ESPN will broadcast the results of the roster draft for the AT&T WNBA All-Star Game during an hour-long edition of WNBA Countdown on Tuesday, July 8 (7 p.m. ET).
