Williams will make her first appearance among the league\u2019s elite. She is averaging 17.1 points, 6.7 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 35.1 minutes per game this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AT&amp;T WNBA All-Star 2021, to be played Wednesday, July 14 at Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, will showcase the WNBA\u2019s biggest and brightest stars under one roof when the WNBA\u2019s top talent squares off against one another in a clash between WNBA All-Stars versus the USA Basketball Women\u2019s National Team voted-in as part of a combination of fan, player, media, and coach voting. The 17th WNBA All-Star Game will be broadcast live by ESPN at 7 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2021 AT&amp;T WNBA All Star Game is one of many key elements of the celebration of the WNBA\u2019s 25th season, which will continue to recognize the incredible achievements of players to date while also serving as a celebratory send-off of the WNBA players who will compete in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Serving as Co-Head Coaches of Team WNBA will be WNBA Legends Lisa Leslie and Tina Thompson. Both Leslie and Thompson are among the most decorated players in league history. Each was named to the WNBA\u2019s All-Decade Team in 2006. Each also was among the honorees in 2016 when the WNBA unveiled its \u201cTop 20@20\u201d celebrating the 20 greatest and most influential players in its history. The USA Women\u2019s National Team will be under the direction of Head Coach Dawn Staley, herself a member of the WNBA\u2019s All-Decade Team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the league\u2019s 25th season celebrations, the WNBA will also honor the gold-medal winning 1996 U.S. Olympic Women\u2019s Basketball Team with a special presentation during the game highlighting the impact the team had on women\u2019s sports and the role it played in launching the WNBA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The initial selection of the All-Stars was conducted through a combination of voting by fans (50 percent of the vote), current WNBA players (25 percent) and a national panel of sportswriters and broadcasters (25 percent) from June 15 through June 27.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The top 36 vote-getters from that voting process who are not members of the USA Basketball 5\u00d75 roster, were provided to WNBA Head Coaches who determined from that list, the 12 players who will play for the Team WNBA All-Stars. Coaches were not permitted to vote for players from their own team. Each coach was required to submit votes for five frontcourt players, three guards, and four additional players at any position. The list of top 36 vote-getters is available here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starters for AT&amp;T WNBA All-Star 2021 will be determined by the respective head coaches of Team WNBA and the USA Basketball Women\u2019s National Team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/CW-WNBA.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/CW-WNBA.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/CW-WNBA-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/CW-WNBA-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As previously announced, the USA Basketball Women\u2019s National Team will hold training camp in Las Vegas in July.
