In the 2024 WNBA All-Star game on Saturday night, Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever, Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky, and Team WNBA defeated Brittney Griner of the Phoenix Mercury and Team USA, 117-109. Griner finished with 10 points and 7 rebounds in 14 minutes off the bench, but Clark and Reese’s performance was noteworthy.

Clark managed to break the WNBA rookie record in the All-Star game by scoring a game-high ten assists. Meanwhile, Reese made history by achieving the first-ever All-Star double-double as a rookie.
Postgame, Griner addressed Team USA’s loss at the All-Star game in an interview.
“It would have been better with a win, but setbacks like these occurred previously as well, and we still ended up with gold,” she said, reflecting on the loss but keeping an optimistic attitude. I am therefore solely concentrating on the advantages.” On July 29, Team USA is set to play Japan in their first official 2024 Paris Olympics match this summer. They will meet Germany in an exhibition match in London on July 23 before this.
