Angel Reese claims Chennedy Carter should have been a WNBA All-Star
Angel Reese believes Chennedy Carter should be with her this weekend in Phoenix at the WNBA All-Star Game. Carter tweeted her support for her teammate ahead of the game on Saturday, prompting Reese to respond with a quote tweet.
The Chicago Sky rookie said Carter was deserving of an All-Star nod herself for the performance she has had over the first half of this season.
“You should be here but i’m playing for you today CHENNDOLL!” Reese wrote.
Carter is in her first season with the Sky after spending the 2023 season playing overseas. The former No. 4 overall pick in the 2020 draft, she came off the bench for the first 12 games before entering the starting lineup.
Since then the former Texas A&M guard has been one of the most electrifying players on the roster with 21.4 points, 3.1 assists and 1.5 steals across her 12 starts. She is also shooting 51.7% from the field and has shown an elite ability and quickness in getting to the rim.
Carter previously played two seasons with the Atlanta Dream and was named the runner up for Rookie of the Year in 2020. However, the team traded her to the Los Angeles Sparks the following season. The Sparks waived her after only one year.

After playing in Turkey the following season, Carter appears to have found the right fit for herself under Chicago coach Teresa Weatherspoon. It’s certainly been somewhat of a revival for her career and perhaps if she keeps it up she will have a chance at being an All-Star next season.
As for Reese, she has put together a spectacular rookie season that included breaking the WNBA record with 15 consecutive double-doubles. She is averaging 13.5 points and 11.9 rebounds per game as she has forced her way into the Rookie of the Year conversation.
The Sky currently sit at 10-14 heading into the break and are clinging to the eighth and final playoff spot. They recently traded away starting guard Marina Mabrey, which should create even more opportunity for Carter to thrive.
Regardless, it’s apparent that the future is bright in Chicago with Reese, Carter and fellow rookie Kamilla Cardoso. The WNBA All-Star Game is set to tip off at 8:30 p.m. ET at the Footprint Center and will feature Team USA stars against the rest of the All-Stars who were not named to the national team.
