The Bryant ladies cheered on their favorite WNBA stars during the All-Star Game in Phoenix

Vanessa Bryant and her daughters enjoyed an epic weekend in Phoenix, Ariz. for the the WNBA All-Star Game.

Vanessa, 42, and daughters Capri, Natalia and Bianka were spotted sitting courtside at the star-studded basketball game on Saturday, July 20.

Vanessa also brought along the family’s adorable pup, Zuki, for the exciting showcase of the WNBA’s biggest stars.

In an Instagram Reel Vanessa posted after the game, she shared a sweet shot of Zuki, who watched the WNBA stars battle it out on the court from inside a Gucci dog carrier.

Her youngest daughter, Capri, 5, shared a sweet moment with top overall pick Caitlin Clark on the sidelines before the game started.

In a video shared by the WNBA on X (formerly known as Twitter), the Indiana Fever rookie greeted the Bryants in their courtside seats and shared a conversation with the girls. Clark, 22, and and Capri even compared their matching pink sneakers — a pair of special edition Kobe 6s that Vanessa gifted the all-stars ahead of the game.

Vanessa can be seen greeting and spending time with close friends like Sabrina Ionescu and Diana Taurasi in other photos and videos in her Instagram Reel. Another sweet image shows shows Vanessa and Taurasi embracing on the sidelines.

At this year’s WNBA All-Star Weekend, the exhibition game was divided into two teams: Stars named to the Olympic team, including Taurasi, Ionescu and MVP A’ja Wilson played for Team USA; while the all-star players who weren’t selected for Paris made up Team WNBA.

Clark and 22-year-old Reese, known for their budding rivalry that stems back to their collegiate careers, thrilled fans during the game when the Sky guard scored off of a Clark assist over Phoenix Mercury star Brittney Griner.

After the game, Reese said in her postgame interview that it was “so cool” playing alongside her otherwise friendly competitor.

“It’s so cool, when she gets the ball, I’m running looking for the ball because I know she’s gonna throw it. She’s been great to play with,” Reese said, adding, “Hopefully in 4 years we’ll be Olympians together.”

Angel Reese Ignites Fury Again After Responding to Stat-Padding Accusations Despite Breaking WNBA Record

Another day. Another game. Same story. The ghost of stat-padding continues to haunt the seventh overall pick, Angel Reese. Despite denying the claims multiple times about the same and even getting support from the WNBA legends like Rebecca Lobo, the Chicago Sky rookie cannot prove her innocence to the basketball fans.

Even collecting most rebounds in the league’s history for single season and leaving Sylvia Fowles behind doesn’t seem to work. Trying to salvage the situation once again, the big cleared her stance. Only to find the loyalists get back at her yet another time.

In her postgame presser, Angel Reese explained her focus on rebounds. “Coming into it, I just knew my motor. Offensive rebounds and defensive rebounds is something that I know I can always do. I knew that was gonna translate right away. That’s something that a lot of players don’t wanna do. A lot of people think it is because I get my own rebounds, statistically, it’s not. A lot of people think it is because I’m the tallest on the court, I’m not the tallest on the court.”

The LSU alum has been under a lot of scrutiny recently. According to many fans, she adds to her points and rebounds by grabbing her own boards. Not to mention, her subpar efficiency from just 5 feet away from the rim has also been a concern for many Chicago fanatics. However, the Sky head coach Teresa Weatherspoon has previously mentioned how her relentlessness to fight for the ball and hunger to get it at any cost is what keeps her dominant in the paint. She had also talked about Reese’s knack for collecting a board.

Resonating with the coach, Angel Reese added, “Just being able to go down there and being able to bang, doing a lot of things that a lot of people don’t wanna do. Defense and rebounding win championships and I want championships at every level by just doing that. Coming into the league, before I sharpen up on my offensive thing, just being able to come in and have that on my shoulder is something that I can always do. It’s something that I knew would translate.”
