Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese set to be teammates on WNBA All-Star team
Caitlin Clark, snubbed from the Olympic team, may have a chance to make a statement — with Angel Reese at her side.
Clark is the second-leading vote-getter for the WNBA All-Star Game behind Las Vegas Aces’ A’ja Wilson, which means the No. 1 draft pick will all but assuredly be a part of Team WNBA.
Her rookie rival Angel Reese, who set WNBA history on Thursday as the first rookie to record seven consecutive double-doubles, sits at seventh place with 118,490 fan votes.

The top-10 vote-getters of the All-Star vote will make up Team WNBA, who will take on Team USA in an exhibition game before they head to Paris.
Reese and Clark, both left off the Olympic roster, will most likely team up on the All-Star side, offering them an opportunity to prove themselves to USA Basketball.
The two rookie phenoms teaming up? Who would have imagined?
Clark, who has led the Fever on a three-game winning streak, ranks 16th in the league in scoring at 16.3 points per game and is third in assists with 6.2 per game.
The uber-popular Clark was controversially left off the star-studded Olympic squad, which is led by Wilson a five-time All-Star, two-time WNBA MVP and two-time WNBA champion.

She will be making her second Olympic appearance with Team USA in Paris this summer, joined by fellow WNBA stars: Brittney Griner, Breanna Stewart, Diana Taurasi, Sabrina Ionescu, Jackie Young, Alyssa Thomas, Kelsey Plum, Jewell Loyd, Napheesa Collier, Kahleah Copper, and Chelsea Gray.

Some likely familiar faces that will make up Team WNBA alongside Clark and Reese are Aliyah Boston, Arike Ogunbowale and Dearica Hamby.
In the Fever’s 88-81 win over the Mystics at home, Clark finished with 18 points and a career-high 12 rebounds, helping her team secure a three-game win streak.

“I think everybody just loves instant satisfaction in our world,” said Clark, who also recorded six assists and four steals. “No one came in here and said we were going to be WNBA Champions from Day 1 in our locker room. That was never our goal. Our goal was to get back to the playoffs and we’re fighting for that every single night.
The rosters for the 2024 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game are set to be revealed on July 2.
