Atlanta Dream rookie guard Rhyne Howard was named a 2022 AT&T WNBA All-Star reserve, the league announced today. Howard becomes the Dream’s second-ever rookie All-Star in franchise history. First rookie to make the All-Star team since Napheesa Collier in 2019.
The No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 WNBA Draft has taken the league by storm, has consistently ranked in the top-15 in the WNBA in points (16.4, 12th) and steals (1.6, 8th) since her debut. Howard averaged 20.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists in her first four games, including a 33-point outing at Indiana on May 15. Howard surpassed 100 points in only five games and peaked to 135 points after the May 29th game against Phoenix, the sixth-most of any rookie in WNBA history in that time span.
The 2022 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game will be played at Wintrust Arena in Chicago, home of the defending WNBA Champion Chicago Sky, on Sunday, July 10 (ABC, noon CT/1 p.m. ET), and will be the centerpiece of a weekend full of WNBA activities.
