Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve didn't hold back after Caitlin Clark's Indiana Fever had three WNBA All-Star selections, including Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell, despite a .500 record. On the other hand, the best team in the league, Minnesota, only had two All-Stars, Napheesa Collier and Courtney Williams.

According to Reeve, historically, teams with a superior record have had more All-Stars. However, that wasn't the case this time. Indiana had three All-Stars despite struggling to create a separation from the .500 mark. Here's what Reeve said on Sunday after the WNBA All-Star reserves were announced:

"I don’t know why only Phee and Courtney are All-Stars when you have the best team in the league by a few games. There are teams that are below us in the standings by a lot that have three All-Stars. Historically, teams at the top get a minimum of three, often times four."

Lynx guard Kayla McBride and forward Alanna Smith were among the snubs. McBride is having a stellar season, averaging 15.1 points, 3.4 assists and 1.1 steals in 14 games, while Smith has averaged 10.4 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 3.0 apg and 2.5 bpg in 17 outings.

The Lynx are 17-2 after Sunday's games, boasting a 4.5-game advantage over the next-best team in the standings.


Cheryl Reeve will coach Caitlin Clark's team at the 2025 WNBA All-Star weekend

Cheryl Reeve has been scrutinized heavily in the past for her comments on Caitlin Clark that went viral on X. Reeve was unimpressed with the WNBA for not listing preseason games nationally in 2024, preferring the Indiana Fever. She made her opinion clear on the matter in May last year with the following tweets (via Christine Brennan on X):

Reeve didn't address those comments until June 19, calling out Brennan for portraying her as a villain in her book on Caitlin Clark. Reeve said she was only defending other teams and the lack of representation for them, not singling out Clark, as suggested by Brennan. Reeve has deleted the tweet since.

She can bury any of that speculation during the All-Star weekend when she coaches Clark and her team at the game. Considering the history, it's one of the most interesting storylines around the All-Star game this year.
