Sonia Citron, Kiki Iriafen, Kayla Thornton and Gabby Williams earned their first All-Star selections as other members of the reserve unit

Alyssa Thomas was happy to see Phoenix Mercury fans welcome her fianceé, DeWanna Bonner, back in The Valley after her exit from the Indiana Fever.

Golden State Valkyries forward Kayla Thornton and Seattle Storm guard Gabby Williams were the two other first-year All-Star reserves named by the coaches Sunday. The All-Star starters were selected through a combination of voting by fans (50 percent), a national panel of media members (25 percent) and current WNBA players (25 percent).

Phoenix Mercury star Alyssa Thomas earned her sixth All-Star selection of her illustrious career on Sunday as the WNBA announced the list of All-Star reserves for the upcoming game on June 19.

The rosters are set for the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game after All-Star captains Caitlin Clark and Napheesa Collier selected their rosters.

Thomas, traded to Phoenix during the offseason, has already electrified the X-Factor with a 15-point, 10-rebound, 15-assist triple-double, her 16th overall and first in a Mercury uniform. Fans at that game erupted when Bonner appeared courtside next to team brass, then again when the franchise confirmed her signing the following day.

Napheesa Collier selected Angel Reese as one of her teammates for the WNBA All-Star Game alongside Paige Bueckers, Skylar Diggins, Allisha Gray, Rhyne Howard, Nneka Ogwumike, Kelsey Plum, Breanna Stewart,
