Rhyne Howard Earns Fourth WNBA All-Star Selection

Rhyne Howard has been tabbed for the All‑Star roster for the fourth time in five seasons, cementing her reputation as one of the league’s top wings. The Atlanta Dream guard posted averages of 18.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.5 steals per game this year. She also leads the WNBA with 3.4 made three‑pointers each contest, ranking second overall.

Season Statistics

Howard’s consistent scoring and defensive pressure have lifted the Dream into playoff contention. Her three‑point production places her just behind the league’s top shooter in that category. The combination of steals and assists highlights her two‑way impact on the court.

All‑Star Weekend Plans

Howard will travel to Chicago for the All‑Star festivities, joining teammates Angel Reese and Allisha Gray on the bench. This marks the fifth time the Dream have fielded three All‑Stars in a single season. All three will appear in the game, adding depth to the West’s roster.

Breaking a WNBA Record

This season Howard set a new benchmark by becoming the fastest player to reach 400 career three‑pointers, achieving the milestone in 147 games. She surpassed Sabrina Ionescu, who needed 151 games to hit the same mark. The achievement underscores her shooting efficiency and longevity in the league.

Career Background

Selected first overall by Atlanta in the 2022 draft, Howard earned Rookie of the Year honors and an All‑Star nod in her debut campaign. The only year she missed the All‑Star team was 2024, a season she characterized as a learning experience. At Kentucky, she was a three‑time First‑Team All‑American and two‑time SEC Player of the Year.

Howard’s All‑Star return signals strong form heading into the playoffs, and her record‑breaking shooting will likely influence future draft strategies. Expect the Dream to lean on her experience as they chase a championship.
