Las Vegas Aces forward A’ja Wilson and Storm guard Sue Bird will serve as co-captains for Team Wilson against Team Stewart, which will be led by Storm forward Breanna Stewart and Minnesota Lynx forward Sylvia Fowles.
An WNBA All-Star Team Selection Special will take place on Saturday at 3 p.m. ET on ESPN. The two sides will take turns picking through the six-player starter group of Chicago Sky forward Candace Parker, the Connecticut Sun’s Jonquel Jones, the Los Angeles Sparks’ Nneka Ogwumike, the New York Liberty’s Sabrina Ionescu and Kelsey Plum and Jackie Young of the Las Vegas Aces.
