2022 WNBA All-Star: A'ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart trade co-captains Sue Bird, Sylvia Fowles in final draft move

The 2022 WNBA All-Star rosters are set after the captains built their rosters through a player draft that aired on Saturday afternoon. A'ja Wilson and Sue Bird were set to captain Team Wilson while Breanna Stewart and Sylvia Fowles were in charge of captaining Team Stewart.

But in the final move of the day, the duo traded their legendary co-captains so that Storm teammates Stewart and Bird will lead a squad and Wilson will pair up with a fellow former MVP in Fowles.

Wilson, who is a captain for the second time in her career, made the first overall pick.
