The WNBA announced the reserves for the 2026 AT&T All-Star Game in Chicago at the United Center on Saturday, July 25. On Friday, the league announced the starters, headlined by Breanna Stewart and A'ja Wilson. They are joined by Aliyah Boston, Natasha Howard, Jessica Shepard, Gabby Williams, Olivia Miles, Kelsey Mitchell, Paige Bueckers and Caitlin Clark.
Atlanta Dream's Allisha Gray, Rhyne Howard and Angel Reese are part of the reserves. Jackie Young, Kelsey Plum, Marina Mabrey, Sonia Citron and Courtney Williams were also voted in by the coaches. Nneka Ogwumike, Jonquel Jones, Kiki Iriafen and Dominique Malonga make up the rest of the All-Star reserves.
After the league announced the All-Star reserves, fans were stunned to find which players were snubbed. They mentioned Phoenix Mercury forward Alyssa Thomas and Dallas Wings rookie Azzi Fudd as players who deserved to be part of the reserves. Here are some of what the fans said.
More fans thought Fudd deserved to be an All-Star this year.
Many believe that Azzi Fudd is the biggest snub in this year's WNBA All-Star Game. She's the No. 1 pick of this year's draft and has become a fan-favorite. However, Fudd hasn't performed well, averaging 13.3 points on 47.2% shooting through 20 games.
Ahead of the Wings' game against the New York Liberty, Chiney Ogwumike said that she thinks her All-Star nod will come in the near future.
Fudd has shown flashes of brilliance in her first year in the WNBA, and fans are eager to see her grow.
