The 2024 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game, which is scheduled to begin on July 20 in Phoenix, Arizona, has officially revealed its rosters. The league’s best players are on show in these rosters, which were decided by a vote of fans, media, and WNBA coaches. Get ready for an exciting evening of explosive dunks, game-winning threes, and dominating defence.
Favourite players lead the way for the starters. Brittney Griner, the incredible center for the Phoenix Mercury who is an eight-time All-Star and two-time WNBA champion, will start at center point. The Phoenix fans will be electrified for their hometown hero, Griner, who is dominant in the paint. Griner will be accompanied in the frontcourt by Elena Delle Donne of the Washington Mystics, a six-time All-Star and former WNBA MVP. With her championship background adding even more drama to the All-Star spectacle, Delle Donne’s ability on both sides of the floor makes her a matchup nightmare.
The fans voted for Seattle Storm dynamo Jewell Loyd and Las Vegas Aces sniper Kelsey Plum most heavily on the wing. A 2020 WNBA champion and three-time All-Star, Loyd is a prolific scorer with a talent for making her shots. Two-time All-Star Plum, the 2020 WNBA MVP, is renowned for her endless range and her lightning-fast recovery from beyond the arc. Sabrina Ionescu, a two-time All-Star point guard with a remarkable skill set and court vision that puts opponents in disarray, completes the starting five.
Another group of players with All-Star potential is among the reserves, who are chosen by WNBA coaches. The coaches preferred the background of Chicago Sky’s Courtney Vandersloot, a two-time champion and floor general with a remarkable ability to direct the attack, in the backcourt. Kahleah Copper, Vandersloot’s Sky teammate and the 2021 WNBA Finals MVP, who is renowned for her unwavering hustle and her capacity for big baskets, will also join her. Two-time WNBA champion and four-time All-Star Brianna Stewart of Seattle and two-time All-Star Tiffany Hayes of the Atlanta Dream, who shoots the ball with exquisite grace and accuracy, provide strength to the guards.
There is serious competition for the frontcourt reserves. Jonquel Jones, a four-time All-Star and former WNBA MVP for the Washington Mystics provides size, strength, and a diverse skill set to the paint. Ten-time All-Star and two-time WNBA champion Sylvia Fowles of the Minnesota Lynx will be a fan favourite as she makes her final appearance on the All-Star stage. The 2020 WNBA champion A’ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces, a two-time All-Star with a scoring mentality and a championship pedigree, and DeWanna Bonner of the Connecticut Sun, a seven-time All-Star with a scoring mindset and a championship pedigree, round out the reserves.
The excitement for the All-Star game is at an all-time high now that the rosters have been confirmed. Basketball fans can expect an amazing show of skill and an evening to remember. A night full of highlight-reel plays, intense competition, and a demonstration of the amazing athleticism and ability that the WNBA has to offer is what fans in Phoenix and those watching from around the globe can anticipate.
