Las Vegas Aces News Release
LAS VEGAS - The WNBA announced today that reigning M'VP A'ja Wilson has been named a starter for the 2025 AT&T All-Star Game in Indianapolis. This is Wilson's 6 th time in her career as an All-Star starter and 7th time competing in the All-Star Game.
The 2025 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game is set to be played on Saturday, July 19, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The game will be broadcast on ABC, Disney+ and ESPN+ at 5:30 p.m. PT. The game will be preceded by a half-hour edition of WNBA Countdown presented by Google on ABC.
The 3x WNBA M'VP Wilson is 1st in the WNBA in blocks (2.6 bpg), 2nd in scoring (21.6 ppg), 2nd in rebounds (9.9 rpg) and 3rd in steals (1.9 spg) this season.
On June 26, she became the fastest player in league history to record 5'000 career points, having done so in 238 games, bypassing Breanna Stewart (242). At 28 years and 321 days, Wilson became the second-youngest after Lauren Jackson did so in 28 years and 96 days to accomplish the feat.
Indiana's Caitlin Clark and Minnesota's Napheesa Collier will serve as captains for the game by virtue of being the top two players who received the most fan votes.

The league's head coaches will select the 12 reserves without regard to conference affiliation. The head coaches will vote for 3 guards, 5 frontcourt players and 4 players at either position regardless of conference. Coaches may not vote for players on their own team. The names of the 12 reserves will be revealed on Sunday, July 6, at 9 a.m. PT.
The AT&T All-Star Game will be the centerpiece of a weekend full of WNBA activities, including the WNBA STARRY 3-Point Contest, Kia WNBA Skills Challenge and "WNBA Live presented by Panini."
