A Look At Your Boost Mobile WNBA All-Star 2015 Reserves


Boost Mobile WNBA All-Star 2015, featuring the Eastern Conference All-Stars against the Western Conference All-Stars at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., will be nationally televised by ABC on Saturday, July 25 at 3:30 p.m. ET.

The starters for the game were announced last week. Elena Delle Donne and Skylar Diggins topped the list in the Eastern Conference and Western Conference, respectively. The reserves for the game were announced Tuesday night during a contest televised on ESPN2 between the Phoenix Mercury and the Los Angeles Sparks.

The 12 WNBA head coaches selected the reserves by voting for six players within their own conference: two backcourt players, three frontcourt players, and a player from either position.

Take a look at who the coaches selected as reserves for the Boost Mobile WNBA All-Star 2015.
