WNBA All-Star Game rosters 2024: Full list of starters, reserves for USA vs. WNBA teams | Sporting News

July 19, 2024

WNBA All-Star Weekend comes one week before the 2024 Paris Olympics, which allows the league’s best players to attend the summer showcase.

The caveat is that many of the top players will be wearing United States jerseys rather than WNBA All-Star threads. Rather than the typical East vs. West, the game will be WNBA vs. USA, as the U.S. women’s national team will use the event as an Olympic tune-up.

The unique structure of the contest is happening for the second consecutive Summer Games and the third time in WNBA history — though the 2004 contest between Team USA and Team WNBA was not officially considered an All-Star Game.

Last year’s WNBA All-Star Game featured two 11-player rosters for a total of 22 All-Stars. This year brings two 12-player rosters split between the U.S. Olympic team and the WNBA All-Star squad.

Here’s how the rosters and starting lineups look ahead of the 2024 WNBA All-Star Game.
