Three former Gamecocks named to WNBA All-Star roster, headlined by Aliyah Boston

The South Carolina Gamecocks are well-represented in the WNBA, with 11 former players on current league rosters. Well when the WNBA All-Star Game tips off on July 25, South Carolina will be represented by three former Gamecocks who made the roster. 

Earlier this week, the WNBA rosters were unveiled, and it includes three South Carolina stars. The roster is headlined by the Indiana Fever center/forward Aliyah Boston, and also includes Atlanta Dream guard Allisha Gray and Las Vegas Aces center A'ja Wilson. 

All three WNBA stars are more than worthy of making the roster, as they are putting together some impressive seasons so far. Boston is having the best season of her five-year WNBA career thus far. She's averaging 17.1 points per game with 8.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game while shooting 50.4% from the floor.  She has helped power an Indiana Fever offense, which has been without Caitlin Clark at times this season, and has helped put her team in first place in the Eastern Conference. 

The same can be said for Gray, who is having one of the most productive seasons of her 10 years inside the league. So far this season, she's averaging a career-high 18.5 points per game, including another 3.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. She's helped Atlanta get off to a strong 12-9 start to the season, as the Dream are in third place in the Eastern Conference. Gray made the All-Star roster as a reserve player. 

And last but certainly not least, the reigning MVP from last season in A'ja Wilson has officially made her eighth All-Star roster of her career. She's averaging 25.7 points per game, with 9.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game. She also put up 45 points in a game against the Connecticut Sun. It was her fifth 40-point career game, which was a new WNBA record. The Aces are in first place in the Western Conference, with a 15-6 record on the season. 

Although Wilson missed the Commissioner's Cup Championship against the New York Liberty with an ankle injury she suffered June 28 against the Chicago Sky, she is expected to return before the All-Star game.  

Both Boston and Wilson inked new contracts before the 2026 regular season tippd off. In April, Wilson became the highest-paid WNBA player in history with her three-year $5 million super max deal with Las Vegas. Just a couple of days later, Boston made history of her own, surpassing Wilson's deal by getting a $6.3 million extension over four seasons. 

The WNBA All-Star game will tip off on Saturday, July 25 at 8 p.m. ET. The game will be played in Chicago at the United Center, and will air live on ABC.

Congrats to all three former Gamecocks for making the WNBA All-Star team!
