Taurasi, Whalen and Whitmore All-Stars

Former UConn star Diana Taurasi and Connecticut Sun point guard Lindsay Whalen were among the 24 players selected to compete in the EuroLeague All-Star Game on Mar. 8 in Paris.

Taurasi, who plays for two-time defending EuroLeague champion Spartak Moscow Region, will start for the Rest of the World team while Whalen of ZVVK USK Prague and Whitmore of Gambrinius will be reserves on that team.

Former UConn star Sue Bird and her Spartak Moscow Region teammate Sylvia Fowles were among the top five vote-getters in the fan balloting for the Rest of the World team but since a maximum of two players per team are allowed to play in the game, Bird and Fowles were left off the team as Taurasi and Lauren Jackson will represent Spartak.
