MINNEAPOLIS/ST. PAUL – The WNBA announced this morning that Minnesota Lynx guard Courtney Williams has been voted a reserve for the 2025 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game by WNBA head coaches. This will be the first time Williams has been selected as an All-Star as a member of the Lynx and the second time in her career (2021). The 2025 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game is slated to be played on Saturday, July 19 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana on ABC at 7:30 p.m. CT. 

Williams joins Lynx teammate Napheesa Collier as a 2025 All-Star and becomes the 14th player in franchise history to play in an All-Star Game. This marks the 10th time multiple Lynx players have been named to the All-Star Game in the same season and first since 2019 (Collier, Sylvia Fowles and Odyssey Sims). 

The Folkston, Ga. native is in the midst of her 10th season in the WNBA, second in Minnesota where she has appeared in 18 games (all starts). This season she’s averaging 12.9 points on 41.5% shooting, 4.7 rebounds, a team-best 5.9 assists and a career-high 1.6 steals in 26.9 minutes per game. She ranks fourth in the WNBA in assists (5.9 apg) and ninth in steals (1.6 spg). She moved into 25th all-time on the WNBA assists leaderboard, surpassing Leilani Mitchell, totaling 1,200 assists throughout her nine seasons in the league.  

Williams opened the season with 19 assists and zero turnovers across Minnesota’s first two games against the Dallas Wings (May 16) and Los Angeles Sparks (May 18), tying the highest assist total with zero turnovers over a two-game span in WNBA history (Sue Bird, 2009). On May 16 against the Wings, Williams posted a season-high 25 points and a career-high five assists in the third quarter, finishing with a game-high nine total assists, shooting 66.7% from the floor and 50.0% from three.  

WNBA All-Star Captains, Collier and Caitlin Clark, will select rosters for the upcoming game via draft, with results aired on Tuesday, July 8 at 6 p.m. CT, as part of an hourlong edition of ESPN’s WNBA Countdown, presented by Google.
