Angel Reese blasted the WNBA All‑Star selection process on Thursday, calling it “disrespectful” that the Atlanta Dream failed to earn a single starter. The club sits 12‑7, leading the Eastern Conference and fourth overall, just three games behind the league leader. Reese, a two‑time All‑Star, singled out veteran guards Rhyne Howard and Allisha Gray for being snubbed despite the team’s success.

All‑Star starters are chosen by fan (50%), media (25%) and player (25%) votes. Howard and Gray posted the fifth and sixth highest guard scores, yet fell short of the top four. Reese ranked seventh among frontcourt players, while league‑leading rebounder Reese averages 11.6 boards and sits 24th in scoring. Both Gray and Reese rank in the top ten for defensive win shares.

Reese urged Dream fans to rally behind Howard, Gray and fellow guard Jordin Canada, who lead the league in steals. She praised the selected starters—Paige Bueckers, Olivia Miles, Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell, A’ja Wilson and others—but insisted the omission undermines a squad that already boasts two double‑double leaders. The controversy highlights voting disparities and could pressure the league to reassess its selection criteria.
