The league's top first- and second-year talent takes center stage on Tuesday, when young 2025 WNBA All-Stars battle it out for a spot above the playoff line.
Indianapolis-bound Washington Mystics rookies Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen are currently hosting fellow All-Star reserve and WNBA sophomore Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky, with both teams desperate to ascend the WNBA standings.
"She's just more present and confident, and they're playing through her," Mystics head coach Sydney Johnson said of Reese and her recent record rebounding.
Tuesday's slate features four teams aiming to curb recent skids before the 2025 WNBA All-Star Weekend takes over the league:
- No. 12 Chicago Sky vs. No. 9 Washington Mystics, 11:30 AM ET (WNBA League Pass): The Mystics hope to break out of ninth place against a struggling Sky, though Chicago's looking up after going toe-to-toe with the league-leading Minnesota Lynx on Sunday.
- No. 8 Las Vegas Aces vs. No. 3 New York Liberty, 8 PM ET (ESPN): Las Vegas follows their up-and-down form into a matchup with recent rivals New York, while the lagging Liberty manage injured starters and a string of tough losses.
All-Stars step up in the biggest moments, and every move matters as the 2025 WNBA season inches closer to its mid-point.
