Clark, Collier draft All-Star groups, flip coaches

All three Indiana Fever All-Stars can be on the identical crew for the WNBA All-Star Sport in Indianapolis on July 19. The rosters, as chosen by captains Caitlin Clark of the Fever and Napheesa Collier of the Minnesota Lynx, have been introduced Tuesday.

Clark and Collier, the 2 main vote-getters in fan balloting, first drafted from the eight remaining starters then stuffed out their groups choosing from the 12 reserves. In addition they made one commerce: swapping head coaches.

Minnesota’s Cheryl Reeve initially was assigned to information Group Clark, because the coach of the crew with the league’s greatest report as of July 3 went to the participant with probably the most votes. The New York Liberty‘s Sandy Brondello, coach of the crew with the second-best report at that time, was initially assigned to Group Collier. However since Reeve is Collier’s coach with the Lynx, the captains opted to change coaches.
