Wings guard Paige Bueckers, Mystics guard Sonia Citron react to arriving in Indianapolis for first career WNBA All-Star Game nod
Former Notre Dame hooper Sklyar Diggins recorded a WNBA All-Star Game record 15 assists and the first ever All-Star Game triple-double.
Sonia Citron will get a generous gesture from a league vet after the 3-point contest, Kiki Iriafen learned an early lessons after a play involving Sophie Cunningham, and Paige Bueckers looked back on her career.
Citron and Iriafen, picked third and fourth in April’s draft, are the first rookie teammates to make a WNBA all-star team since 1999.
WNBA All-Star weekend is tipping off Friday night with the Skills Challenge and 3-Point Contest at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The show will go on despite Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark sitting out the 3-point Contest and the All-Star Game due to injury.
Ionescu also passed on the event last season. While she did not take part in the WNBA's 3-point contest, she did participate in a 3-point competition against Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry during the 2024 NBA All-Star weekend. Curry defeated Ionescu by just three points in an event that was well-received by fans.
The WNBA has six all-stars from the past three draft classes, so Caitlin Clark isn’t the only reason the talk around the league is all about the kids.
