Wilson has been in the league since 2018 and has already earned herself a Hall of Fame resume with three MVP awards and seven WNBA All-Star Game appearances. She has played her entire career with the Las Vegas Aces, winning back-to-back WNBA titles in 2022 and 2023.
Thomas, a six-time WNBA All-Star, is widely regarded as one of the most versatile players in the league history, finding success with the Connecticut Sun and the Phoenix Mercury. She owns the most triple-doubles in league history with 19. No other player has more than four.
Collier, a former WNBA Rookie of the Year, leads the No. 1 team in the WNBA, the Minnesota Lynx. Minnesota sits at 27-5 on the season, leading other top teams like the Atlanta Dream and New York Liberty by at least six games.
Throughout her second season in the WNBA, Angel Reese has posted 14.2 points, 12.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game.
She has missed ample time with a back injury, and the Chicago Sky have yet to reveal a timetable for Reese's return.
