Satou Sabally discusses her 2025 WNBA All-Star Game selection
Phoenix Mercury forward Satou Sabally dishes on what it is like to be selected as a starter for the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game.
The starters for the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game were revealed at the start of July, with Indiana’s Caitlin Clark and Minnesota’s Napheesa Collier named captains. As captains, those two have the unfortunate task of having to pick between the best players across the league, drafting their teams to face off against one another, and the full rosters have finally been revealed.
The reserves for the game were announced on Sunday, July 6, including several All-Star Game vets and a few first-timers. Among the reserves, there are four players who will be participating in the WNBA All-Star Game for the first time in their careers: Washington’s Kiki Iriafen and Sonia Citron, Golden State’s Kayla Thornton, and Seattle’s Gabby Williams.
This year’s roster really is a celebration of the league. Despite 2025 marking the league’s first expansion sine 2008, nearly every team in the league is represented in this game, with only the Connecticut Sun lacking a player in the contest.
Here are the full reserves for the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game.
