Three Notre Dame women’s basketball alums have been selected for the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game in Indianapolis.
While plenty of big names like Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston and Paige Bueckers litter the roster, fans of the Fighting Irish will recognize Sonia Citron (Washington Mystics), Skylar Diggins (Seattle Storm) and Jackie Young (Las Vegas Aces) among the selections for the event.
Citron, who was named an All-Star for the very first time, was the No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft. She has played in all 18 games for the Mystics. Among current rookies, the 6-foot-1 guard ranks second in scoring (14.6 ppg), third in rebounding (4.9 rpg) and fifth in assists (2.0 apg).
Diggins is a seven-time selection, and her 5,155 career points rank fifth among active players behind leaders Tina Charles, Breanna Stewart, Brittney Griner and Jewell Loyd. The 5-foot-9 guard ranks 10th in the league in scoring this season (18.5 ppg) and tied for fourth in assists (5.9 apg).
Young is on her fourth All-Star team. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 WNBA Draft ranks second on the Aces in scoring, averaging 17.3 points. The 6-foot guard also ranks second among Aces players in assists (3.7 apg).
The All-Star Game will be played on July 19 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, home of the Indiana Fever (8:30 p.m. ET, ABC).
