The WNBA All-Star Game arrives with some additional flair Saturday night, when superstar rookies Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese will headline a team of WNBA all-stars against Team USA, the squad that will represent the United States at the Paris Olympics. Clark’s omission from the veteran-laden Olympic team sparked unending debate last month, and now she will go head-to-head against it while teaming up with her former college rival in a high-profile exhibition. Follow along for live updates and highlights from the game.

Saturday’s game is scheduled to begin at 8:30 p.m. Eastern time at Footprint Center in Phoenix. It is airing on ABC.

Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese aren’t the only WNBA rookies making an impact

At WNBA All-Star Game, Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese go from rivals to teammates

Investing in women’s sports isn’t ‘charity-pity.’ There’s money to be made.

Saturday’s hottest runway isn’t in Paris. It’s the All-Star Game ‘tunnel.’

WNBA fashion has gained momentum for a few years, thanks to avant-garde trendsetters A’ja Wilson, Kelsey Plum and Skylar Diggins-Smith. It’s a big shift from the late 1990s and early 2000s, when players and coaches almost exclusively wore traditional business clothes, often assimilating with masculine flair (male NBA players had their own fashion crisis at the time, according to SB Nation).

Perspective: Investing in women’s sports isn’t ‘charity-pity.’ There’s money to be made.

Certain shortsighted business mistakes live on in jeering lore: Blockbuster rejecting Netflix comes to mind, as does Twentieth Century Fox giving up sequel rights to Star Wars. Right about now, as the WNBA counts its ratings and revenue, certain oafish sports owners occupy the same category. Let’s pick on James Dolan, as he’s demonstrative of a particular butt-headedness. This is the guy who so undersold the New York Liberty that he made them work in an arena that hosted cat shows. It now looks as if Dolan lost about $120 million when he sold the team. Who knew karma could smell so strongly of a litterbox.

A standout 2024 WNBA draft class has already made its mark three months into the season. At the midway point, ahead of Saturday’s All-Star Game, its two biggest stars have set records.

The All-Star Game in Phoenix precedes the Paris Olympics this summer and signals the start of a month-long league break. It pits the U.S. women’s national team against a WNBA all-star squad that excludes players heading to Paris.

Pregame reading: Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese go from rivals to teammates

PHOENIX — Caitlin Clark launched her shot at Footprint Center as the WNBA all-star team wrapped up practice with a half-court contest. The ball careened off the backboard just to the left of the square. Before Clark walked away, Angel Reese stormed toward the all-star logo and fired. The orange and white ball bounced off the middle of the square and right through the twine, and Reese turned and lifted her right arm in victory, giving high-fives to a couple of teammates before doing a little dance.
