This is the first time 2 rookies are WNBA All-Stars in the same season since 2014.
Rookies Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever and Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky have been named to their first WNBA All-Star team, the league announced Tuesday.Reese, who has also been named WNBA Rookie of the Month for June, was emotional after learning about her All-Star selection.
Against the Atlanta Dream on Tuesday, Reese posted her 11th consecutive double-double - extending her single-season league record - with a franchise-record 19 rebounds in the Sky's 85-77 win. She is now within one of Candace Parker's all-time record for consecutive double-doubles, which was accomplished across two seasons.
"I don't think I've ever been her teammate before, even at USA Basketball," Clark said about linking up with former college rival Reese, per ESPN. "I know people will be really excited about it, but I hope it doesn't take away from everyone else. Joining the two first-timers on the 12-woman Team WNBA roster are two-time All-Star Aliyah Boston , four-time All-Star Arike Ogunbowale and nine-time All-Star Nneka Ogwumike .
