College careers for 2024 WNBA All-Stars: Team USA vs. Team WNBA

Caitlin Clark's full career March Madness highlights (2021-2024)

The biggest stars in women's basketball take the court in Phoenix on Saturday, July 20 for the 2024 WNBA All-Star Game.

Because it's an Olympic year, the game format will be a little different than the usual Eastern Conference vs. Western Conference. Instead, the USA Basketball Women's National Team will face WNBA All-Stars. The WNBA representatives came from a combination of voting from fans, players, media and coaches. The game will be played at 8:30 p.m. ET Saturday on ABC. Each team has 12 players.

Take a look at the rosters below, including where each athlete plays in the WNBA and where they starred in college.

Team WNBA roster

  • DeWanna Bonner | Connecticut Sun | Auburn
  • Aliyah Boston | Indiana Fever | South Carolina
  • Caitlin Clark | Indiana Fever | Iowa
  • Allisha Gray | Atlanta Dream | South Carolina
  • Dearica Hamby | Los Angeles Sparks | Wake Forest
  • Brionna Jones | Connecticut Sun | Maryland
  • Jonquel Jones | New York Liberty | George Washington
  • Kayla McBride | Minnesota Lynx | Notre Dame
  • Kelsey Mitchell | Indiana Fever | Ohio State
  • Arike Ogunbowale | Dallas Wings | Notre Dame
  • Nneka Ogwumike | Seattle Storm | Stanford
  • Angel Reese | Chicago Sky | LSU

South Carolina and Notre Dame each have two representatives on the WNBA team, including Arike Ogunbowale, who made two last-second shots in the 2018 Final Four against UConn and Mississippi State to give Notre Dame the national title.

There are also two rookies on the roster: Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. The two former college stars met in both the 2023 and 2024 NCAA tournaments, with Reese's LSU topping Clark's Iowa in the 2023 title game. The Hawkeyes then defeated the Tigers in the Elite Eight earlier this year. Clark finished her career as the all-time leading scorer in DI college basketball.

In the fan vote, Clark and Boston finished in first and second. A'ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart and Reese rounded out the top five. Wilson and Stewart, however, are on Team USA.

Ogwumike has the most All-Star selections on the Team WNBA roster with nine.
