The 2024 WNBA All-Star rosters dropped on Tuesday, July 2 ahead of this year's game.

Rookie stars like Indiana Fever's Caitlin Clark and Chicago Sky's Angel Reese earned their first spots on the team, while WNBA superstars Las Vegas Aces' A'ja Wilson and New York Liberty's Breanna Stewart will be making their sixth appearances.

This year's All-Star Game rosters are made up similarly to how the league did so for the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. The USA Basketball Women’s National Team will face the remaining WNBA All-Stars named to the rosters for the game ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics. Team USA's first Olympic match will take place on Monday, July 29 vs. Japan.

Votes for the All-Star rosters multiplied by about seven times more than last year, so it's likely this year could be the most-watched WNBA All-Star Game in the league's history.

Ahead of the game on July 20, here's all you need to know about the 2024 WNBA All-Star Game.
