Ogwumike an All-Star for 11th Time

Tied with Diana Taurasi for the second most all-star selections in WNBA history

STANFORD, Calif. – Three-time Stanford All-American and Los Angeles Sparks forward Nneka Ogwumike highlights a list of 12 players who have been named reserves for the 2026 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game.

It’s the 11th all-star selection in Ogwumike’s career, tying her with Diana Taurasi for the second most in league history, behind all-time leader Sue Bird (13).

The 2026 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game will be played in Chicago at United Center on Saturday, July 25, and broadcast on ABC (5:30 p.m. PT). The reserves were selected by the WNBA’s 15 head coaches, who each voted for three guards, five frontcourt players and four players at either position, regardless of conference. The coaches could not vote for their own players.

Ogwumike ranks 18th in the WNBA in scoring (16.1 ppg) and eighth in rebounding (8.7 rpg) this season. The No. 1 overall draft pick in 2012, Ogwumike has been named to the All-WNBA Team eight times, including a spot on the Second Team each of the past four seasons. A 6-2 forward, Ogwumike ranks fourth in league history for career points (7,580) and total rebounds (3,399).
