The first round of 2024 WNBA All-Star Game voting has made it clear that Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese will probably become teammates for the first time in their careers at the annual event. Clark ranks second to A’ja Wilson among all vote-getters, while Reese comes in seventh place in the Friday poll reveal.
Their vote positions put them in line to make the Team WNBA squad for the All-Star Game, where they would play against Team USA, comprising the players named to the United States Olympic roster. The 2024 WNBA All-Star Game will happen on July 20 – nine days before Team USA plays its first Olympics game against Japan.
Clark and Reese will make for an intriguing tandem if paired at the WNBA All-Star Game. They faced one another twice in the NCAA Tournament while playing for Iowa and LSU, respectively. And the rookies are about to play for a third time within a month when the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky square off this weekend.

The basketball stars have generally spoken highly of one another despite the public positioning them as bitter rivals. That said, they’re fierce competitors, and that quality has shown up whenever they meet on the court. So, many fans will find joy from them joining forces against some of the best talents in the world.
This year’s All-Star Game will take place at Footprint Center in Phoenix, where the Mercury play throughout the year.
“I think it’s just the emotion and the passion that we play with,” Clark said recently about why people are enamored with her and Reese. “I think people love to see that. And I think that’s maybe not something that was always appreciated in women’s sports, and it should be. I think that’s what makes it fun.”

While Olympic-bound players are on the 2024 WNBA All-Star Game ballot, votes for them don’t matter, as they’ll be on the Team USA side no matter what. The first 10 members of the Team WNBA side will be the top 10 vote-getters who aren’t on Team USA.
Then, WNBA head coaches will fill out the rest of the Team WNBA All-Star roster.
Surprisingly, Clark’s college teammate Kate Martin, a rookie on the Las Vegas Aces, is also in line to make an All-Star appearance despite making just one start and scoring 4.2 points per game so far this year. Martin has quickly become a fan favorite in her new home.
