The WNBA announced the 12 reserves for the 2025 All-Star Game, rounding out the rosters after Caitlin Clark and Napheesa Collier headlined the top vote-getters among starters. The league’s coaches selected three guards, five frontcourt players and four players regardless of position and conference to reserve spots. Seattle Storm guard Skylar Diggins and Phoenix Mercury forward Alyssa Thomas were among the most notable picks.
Other guards to earn a spot in the July 19 showcase include the Washington Mystics’ Sonia Citron, the Atlanta Dream’s Rhyne Howard, the Indiana Fever’s Kelsey Mitchell, the Los Angeles Sparks’ Kelsey Plum, the Minnesota Lynx’s Courtney Williams, the Storm’s Gabby Williams and the Las Vegas Aces’ Jackie Young.
In the frontcourt, the Mystics’ Kiki Iriafen, the Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese and the Golden State Valkyries’ Kayla Thornton round out the reserves.
Diggins earned her seventh All-Star selection while Thomas picked up her sixth. They have been named to more All-Star teams than any other reserves on the 2025 roster. This is the first All-Star selection for Citron, Iriafen, Thornton and Gabby Williams.

Clark received the most fan votes of any player with a record 1,293,526. The media and her peers, however, were slightly lower on her in the selection process and gave her the third- and ninth-most votes, respectively. Bueckers had the highest weighted score across the three voting categories as a result, with an average rank of 3.25 to Clark’s 3.5.
The 2025 WNBA All-Star Game tips off at 8:30 p.m. WT on Saturday, July 19. This year’s event will unfold at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, in Indianapolis, the home of the Fever.
