From setting league records to earning franchise achievements, the WNBA’s star-studded 2024 rookie class has had an incredible first few months.
Earlier this month, the class made more history when it was revealed both No. 1 pick Caitlin Clark and No. 7 pick Angel Reese had been named to the league’s All-Star team — the first time two rookies have earned All-Star honors since 2014.
It’s just the eighth time in league history that two or more players have been named All-Stars as rookies. Here’s a look at the seven other times that multiple league debutants have earned the midseason honor in the same year.
Year: 2014
Players: Chiney Ogwumike, Shoni Schimmel
Ogwumike won Rookie of the Year honors after a debut campaign that saw her average over 15 points and 8 rebounds per game, but it was Schimmel who stole the show at the All-Star Game in Phoenix. The former Louisville Cardinal poured in a then-All-Star Game-record 29 points to go with eight assists. She helped the Eastern Conference to an overtime victory en route to winning the game’s MVP award.
Year: 2011
Players: Courtney Vandersloot, Maya Moore, Liz Cambage, Danielle Adams
