NEW YORK, NY - (NBA)

Wednesday July 8, 2026

Los Angeles Sparks forward Nneka Ogwumike, the WNBA's fourth-leading scorer and rebounder of all time, highlights the list of 12 players who have been named reserves for the 2026 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game. The selection is the 11th in Ogwumike's career, tying her with Diana Taurasi for the second most in league history, behind all-time leader Sue Bird (13).

The 2026 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game will be played in Chicago at United Center on Saturday, July 25, and broadcast on ABC (8:30 p.m. ET). The game broadcast will be preceded by a special edition of WNBA Countdown (ABC, 8 p.m. ET), and will be followed by WNBA Postgame (ABC, 10:30 p.m. ET).

The reserves were selected by the WNBA's 15 head coaches, who each voted for three guards, five frontcourt players and four players at either position, regardless of conference. The coaches were not able to vote for their own players.

Joining Ogwumike as reserves at the frontcourt position are the Washington Mystics' Kiki Iriafen, the New York Liberty's Jonquel Jones, the Seattle Storm's Dominique Malonga, and the Atlanta Dream's Angel Reese.

The reserves selected at the guard position are the Mystics' Sonia Citron, the Dream's Allisha Gray and Rhyne Howard, the Toronto Tempo's Marina Mabrey, the Sparks' Kelsey Plum, the Minnesota Lynx's Courtney Williams, and the Las Vegas Aces' Jackie Young.

Jones was selected as an All-Star for the sixth time, second-most among the reserves behind Ogwumike. Plum and Young each earned their fifth All-Star selection. Gray and Howard were chosen for the fourth time, Reese and Williams for the third time. Second-year players Citron and Iriafen are All-Stars for the second time. Mabrey and Malonga will make their All-Star debuts.

In addition to these 12 reserves, the 10 starters - four guards and six frontcourt players selected by fans, current players and media were previously announced. The head coaches for the 2026 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game will be the head coaches of the two teams with the best records following games on Friday, July 10, regardless of conference.

As part of the league's 30th season celebration, WNBA legends Cynthia Cooper and Teresa Weatherspoon will take center stage as honorary general managers for the AT&T WNBA All-Star Game and will draft their respective rosters from the pool of 22 All-Stars. Additional information regarding the general managers' construction of the rosters for Team Cooper and Team Weatherspoon will be shared in the coming days.

If a player is unable to play in the AT&T WNBA All-Star Game, a replacement will be named by WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert.
