The three Lynx playing in the WNBA All-Star Game on Saturday, July 28 at Target Center will be on different teams.
Center Sylvia Fowles and guard Seimone Augustus will play on Team Delle Donne while forward Maya Moore — the MVP in the past two All-Star Games — will be on Team Parker.
Elena Delle Donne of the Washington Mystics and Candice Parker of the Los Angeles Sparks — the two team captains — took turns picking their teams during a conference call Thursday morning. The teams were announced on ESPN2 in the evening before a Mystics' game.
Parker and Delle Donne each picked their WNBA teammates for their side in the All-Star Game on July 28 at Target Center.
Delle Donne said she took Mystics guard Kristi Toliver first. Parker drafted Sparks teammates Chelsea Gray and Nneka Ogwumike. Ogwumike also will be able to play with sister Chiney, who plays for Connecticut, for the first time in their pro careers as she's also on Team Parker.
The order of the picks in the draft — a new twist for the All-Star Game — were not publicly revealed.
"It's been a lot of fun. I'm glad we only picked earlier this morning as I haven't had to keep the secret for too long," Delle Donne said. "Candace and I were going back and forth on the phone. ... How can you go wrong when you have a group of All-Stars."
