<\/p>\n

The 2025 WNBA All-Star teams are set, as captains Napheesa Collier and Caitlin Clark drafted the 20 other honored players into their final rosters<\/a> live on ESPN<\/a> on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

The draft began with the two captains selecting from the eight-player pool of fan-voted starters<\/a>, before Clark and Collier each chose six athletes from the group of 12 All-Star reserves<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Both the Minnesota forward and the Indiana guard prioritized selecting their WNBA teammates, with Collier successfully grabbing Lynx guard Courtney Williams as one of her reserves while Clark’s first picks in each category were fellow Fever players in starter Aliyah Boston<\/a> and reserve player Kelsey Mitchell.<\/p>\n

Collier also decided to keep her fellow UConn Huskies<\/a> close, tapping alums Breanna Stewart and Paige Bueckers for her starting lineup \u2014 though she failed to pull off a trade for third alum Gabby Williams.<\/p>\n

“I tried they didn’t show that part lol,” the Lynx star posted to X<\/a> after the draft, referencing her attempt to roster Williams.<\/p>\n

While Collier’s strategy was to snag current and former teammates, as well as players with whom she has Unrivaled or collegiate ties, Clark approached the draft with less of a plan.<\/p>\n

“I’m going on vibes. I’m picking whatever comes to mind. We’re just having fun,” joked<\/a> Clark, promising “my team is going to be fun.”<\/p>\n

All-Star draft’s lone trade sees head coach swap<\/h2>\n

Despite a handful of trade offers, the only swap of the Tuesday draft didn’t end up involving players at all, as the All-Star leaders agreed to switch head coaches.<\/p>\n

Coaching assignments follow fan votes and team records, with the top All-Star vote-getter paired with the coach of the league’s No. 1 team, while the No. 2 team coach leads the squad captained by the player who garnered the second-most votes. <\/p>\n

As such, Minnesota head coach Cheryl Reeve<\/a> was initially assigned to Team Clark, with Collier’s squad led by New York boss Sandy Brondello<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Following both Collier’s strategy of prior connections and, perhaps, Clark’s emphasis on vibes, the pair agreed to switch sideline leaders, keeping the Lynx lineup together and sending the reigning WNBA champion to helm Clark’s crew.<\/p>\n
