History was made on Tuesday night as the Indiana Fever saw three of its players—Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston, and Kelsey Mitchell—named to the 2024 WNBA All-Star Team. The announcement, made on ESPN before the Fever faced off against Vegas at T-Mobile Arena, marked the first time since 2007 that the Fever had three All-Stars, with Tamika Catchings, Anna DeForge, and Tammy Sutton-Brown being the last trio to achieve this feat.

This year’s All-Star Game, set for July 20 in Phoenix, is unique as it pits Team USA against Team WNBA in an exhibition match ahead of the Paris Olympics. The rosters for the game were predetermined, with the top 12 players automatically slotting into Team USA, leaving 12 spots for Team WNBA. The trio of Fever players were all named to Team WNBA, making Indiana the only team with three representatives on the non-Olympic roster.

Led by Clark, who topped fan voting with 700,735 votes, and Boston at second place with 618,680 votes, the Fever trio earned their places on the All-Star Team through a combination of fan, media, and player voting. Mitchell secured her spot courtesy of the subsequent coach selection process, which filled out the Team WNBA roster with standout players from the voting pool.

Iconic Las Vegas players—A’ja Wilson, Kelsey Plum, Chelsea Gray, and Jackie Young—will be part of the Olympic roster, while the WNBA will be represented by star talent including Allisha Gray of the Atlanta Dream, Arike Ogunbowale of the Dallas Wings, and Nneka Ogwumike of the Seattle Storm.
