Stars Shine in 2024 All-WNBA Team Selections
If you’re a fan of top-tier basketball talent, the 2024 All-WNBA Teams are a masterclass in skill, hustle, and history-making moments. The league rolled out its annual honors with a lineup that reads like a who’s who of women’s hoops—and this year, it wasn’t just the veterans stealing the spotlight.
Las Vegas Aces’ A’ja Wilson didn’t just dominate on the court—she made it unanimous. Every single vote put her on the First Team, solidifying why she’s the All-WNBA First Team headliner and the league’s Most Valuable Player. Wilson’s award count keeps stacking up, marking her fourth time earning this honor and her third in a row. She’s not missing a beat.
Right alongside her is Napheesa Collier, anchoring the Minnesota Lynx with a relentless defensive game. Fresh off grabbing the Defensive Player of the Year award, Collier’s two-way impact was undeniable, and a clear reason she’s a unanimous First Team pick for the second consecutive season.
New York Liberty’s Breanna Stewart is also running up the history books. This is her sixth year in a row making the First Team, and she’s doing it while averaging over 20 points a night, almost nine rebounds, and a block per game. Stewart left opponents scrambling—and in the process, she became the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 5,000 points, pulling it off in just 242 games.
Caitlin Clark Breaks Through as Standout Rookie
The real shakeup came from a rookie. Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark didn’t just live up to the first-year hype—she shattered it. With 52 First Team votes, Clark became the first rookie to be named to the First Team since Candace Parker pulled it off in 2008. That’s not exactly crowded company; Clark now joins legends like Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi in achieving that as a first-year pro.
Connecticut Sun’s Alyssa Thomas rounds out the First Team, doubling down on her status as one of the league’s most reliable threats. Her second consecutive First Team nod is proof that hard-nosed play and smart basketball keep you in the mix season after season.
Each First Team selection gets a $10,300 bonus for their stellar seasons, while the Second Team doesn’t leave empty-handed—those honorees take home $5,150 each. These bonuses are more than just cash; they’re respect for the grind and a reflection of the kind of impact these women bring to the league.
The All-WNBA Second Team this year features New York’s Sabrina Ionescu—who pulled in 204 voting points—plus Phoenix’s Kahleah Copper, Seattle’s Nneka Ogwumike, Dallas’s Arike Ogunbowale, and Liberty’s Jonquel Jones. These names could easily anchor a First Team in any other year, which says a lot about just how stacked and competitive the WNBA is right now.
This season, standout performances weren’t just coming from the veterans. The blend of established stars and breakout newcomers, like Clark, kept fans on their toes all year. There’s no doubt—women’s basketball has entered a new era of excitement, and with lineups like this, next season can’t come soon enough.
