Starters will be announced live on ESPN on Tuesday, July 11 during the noon ET edition of SportsCenter. The All-Star reserves, who will be selected by the Eastern and Western Conference head coaches, respectively, will be announced on Tuesday, July 18 during ESPN2’s telecast of the Storm and the Chicago Sky (9 p.m. ET).
