The WNBA season pauses for All-Star weekend — and it is more than entertainment. On July 25 in Chicago’s United Center, Team Coop faces Team Spoon. The rosters already read like a 2026 league snapshot: superstars, rookies and the players who set defensive rankings.
Who is on which side
Teresa Weatherspoon has Caitlin Clark, A’ja Wilson, Olivia Miles, Aliyah Boston and Jessica Shepard. Cynthia Cooper has Paige Bueckers, Breanna Stewart, Kelsey Mitchell, Natasha Howard and Gabby Williams. Watch Wilson closely: she leads scoring near 25.6 and still averages 23-plus against top-five defenses.
Week context
The Lynx and Storm play their last game before the break today; the Sparks host Phoenix without Kelsey Plum. After All-Star the schedule tightens again: for leaders it is a recovery window, for mid-table teams a test not to lose rhythm.
