Legends in the house 💥 As part of the WNBA’s 30th season celebration, Teresa Weatherspoon and Cynthia Cooper will lead

What happened: The WNBA named Teresa Weatherspoon and Cynthia Cooper as general managers for this year's All-Star Game as part of the league's 30th season celebration. Each will draft her own roster from the pool of 22 All-Stars, taking control of who lands on her team.

Why it matters: Handing the rosters to two of the league's most decorated figures deepens the 30th-anniversary theme and adds a competitive draft wrinkle to the exhibition. The GM format turns the selection process itself into a storyline, giving fans a reason to follow which stars go where before the game is played.

What to watch: Watch for the draft order and roster reveals, which will set the two teams and determine how the 22 All-Stars are split.
