The 2024 All-WNBA teams were announced Wednesday, with the first team headlined by Aces’ A’ja Wilson, Lynx’s Napheesa Collier and Fever rookie Caitlin Clark.

Caitlin Clark's rookie season was a historic one on many levels. It was further solidified with a spot on the 2024 All-WNBA First Team.

The WNBA on Tuesday announced its first and second teams, with Clark among the headliners on the first team. The honor comes after Clark averaged 19.2 points, 8.4 assists, 5.7 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 0.7 blocks per game to help the Indiana Fever flip from lottery contender to playoff caliber.

Clark nearly earned the nod unanimously, receiving 66 of 67 votes. Two players did earn a spot unanimously: MVP A'ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces and Defensive Player of the Year Napheesa Collier, who is in the ongoing WNBA Finals with the Minnesota Lynx.

New York Liberty star Breanna Stewart and Connecticut Sun's Alyssa Thomas rounded out the five-player team.

The second team featured two more Liberty players in Sabrina Ionescu and Jonquel Jones.

Phoenix Mercury's Kahleah Copper, Dallas Wings' Arike Ogunbowale and Seattle Storm's Nneka Ogwumike were the next three stars. Copper's selection marked her first ever in her debut season in Arizona.
