The memorable occasion last time out, held ahead of the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, saw Team WNBA defeat Team USA 93-85 in Las Vegas.
This time around, the roster is extremely enticing, as Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese - WNBA rookie rivals - will be teaming up to take on the side that they were left out of earlier in the year.
Both names, especially the former, being absent from the Olympic squad list caused a huge stir in the media and the upcoming game is a chance to show the country what they are missing out on.
The All-Star roster was selected through both fan votes (50%), WNBA player votes (25%), and votes from basketball media (25%). As for the fan side of the vote, Clark got a record 700,735 votes, while Boston, in second place, received 618,680. Wilson (607,300), Stewart (424,135), and Reese (381,518) made up the rest of the top five.
