(CNN) โ€” Rookies Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever and Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky were named to their first WNBA All-Star team, the league announced Tuesday.

This is the first time two rookies are WNBA All-Stars in the same season since 2014.

Joining the two first-timers on the 12-woman Team WNBA roster are two-time All-Star Aliyah Boston (Fever), four-time All-Star Arike Ogunbowale (Dallas Wings) and nine-time All-Star Nneka Ogwumike (Seattle Storm).

Team WNBA will take on the USA Basketball Womenโ€™s National Team at the Footprint Center in Phoenix for a sold-out game on July 20.

Six-time All-Star Aโ€™ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces headllines the Team USA squad for the 20th All-Star game. Joining Wilson are six-time All-Star Breanna Stewart (New York Liberty), 11-time All-Star Diana Taurasi (Phoenix Mercury) and 10-time All-Star Brittney Griner (Mercury).

This will be the second time the All-Star game will feature the USA Basketball vs. Team WNBA format.

In 2021, Team WNBA defeated Team USA 93-85 in Las Vegas prior to the Tokyo Olympics.

The All-Stars were chosen by fans (50% of the vote), current WNBA players (25%) and a national panel of broadcasters and sportswriters (25%).
