For the first time since 2019, the Sky will not have a starter in the WNBA All-Star Game.
Allie Qugiley and Diamond DeShields represented the Sky in 2019 but were selected as reserves. Quigley ended up starting via coach’s decision for an injured A’ja Wilson.
Wilson, a two-time MVP, and 2018 MVP Breanna Stewart were named captains after leading the 10 starters in votes. The four guards and six frontcourt players selected as starters were voted on by fans, WNBA players and a panel of media members for a weighted score.
Aces guards Jackie Young and Chelsea Gray, Storm guard Jewell Loyd and Wings guard Arike Ogunbowale are the four backcourt starters. Mercury center Brittney Griner, Wings forward Satou Sabally, Sparks forward Nneka Ogwumike and Fever rookie Aliyah Boston join Wilson and Stewart as starters in the frontcourt.
In the last two seasons, the Sky have had at least three All-Stars selected.
Kahleah Copper earned back-to-back nods as a reserve, with her first All-Star selection coming in 2021.
