Arike-Ogunbowale – Dallas Wings WNBA All Star

Dallas Wings guard Arike Ogunbowale was named an All-Star Tuesday night for the fourth time in her five-year WNBA career.

 Ogunbowale was the 2021 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game MVP after her 26 points led Team WNBA to a 93-85 win over the USA Basketball Women’s National Team in her first All-Star appearance.

After ranking among the top five scorers in the WNBA each of the past five seasons, including 2020 when she led the league, Ogunbowale ranks second this season (23.7 points per game). She also is No. 1 in made threes (59) and steals (2.83 steals per game).

She was among a number of WNBA stars named to the AT&T WNBA All-Star 2024, to be played Saturday, July 20 in Phoenix, Arizona. The annual game will showcase the league’s brightest stars competing against each other as the USA Basketball Women’s National Team takes on the WNBA All-Stars who were selected as part of a combination of fan, player, media and coach voting.

The All-Star Game, already announced as a sellout at Footprint Center, will be televised by ABC at 8:30 p.m. ET/5:30 p.m. PT. In addition to celebrating the send-off of WNBA players selected to compete in the 2024 Paris Olympics, the AT&T WNBA All-Star Game will be the centerpiece of two full days packed with WNBA activities.

Among the other notable All-Star selections, rookie and former LSU star Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky received her first All-Star selection. Reese, the No. 7 overall draft pick in 2024, was named the Kia WNBA Rookie of the Month for June. With 10 points and 16 rebounds at Minnesota on Sunday, Reese set a WNBA single-season record for consecutive double-doubles with 10. For the season, she leads the WNBA in rebounding (11.4 rpg).

Below are the complete All-Star Rosters.

Additional events include the WNBA 3-Point Contest and the Skills Challenge on Friday, July 19 (6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET).
