Honorary Starter Status for Griner

Phoenix Mercury center Brittney Griner (currently unlawfully detained in Russia), a seven-time All-Star, will be an honorary All-Star and starter.

“During each season of Brittney’s career in which there has been an All-Star Game, she has been selected as an All-Star,” league commissioner Cathy Engelbert said. “It is not difficult to imagine that if BG were here with us this season, she would once again be selected and would, no doubt, show off her incredible talents. So, it is only fitting that she be named as an honorary starter today and we continue to work on her safe return to the U.S.”

WNBA All-Star Game Captains

Co-captains (selected from leaders of fan voting):

  • A’ja Wilson (Las Vegas Aces)
  • Breanna Stewart (Seattle)

Wilson and Stewart will be paired with two additional co-captains: retiring legends Sue Bird and Sylvia Fowles. Bird will be paired with Wilson. Fowles will be paired with Stewart.

All-Star Reserves Selection

League coaches will vote for reserves and the selections will be announced Tuesday, June 28. Coaches can vote for three guards, five frontcourt players, and four players at either position, regardless of conference. They cannot vote for their own players. If a player is unable to play in the All-Star game for any reason, a replacement player will be named to the roster by Commissioner Engelbert.

Co-Captains will draft rosters from the pool of starters and reserves on ESPN on Saturday, July 2 at 3 p.m. ET.
