The McDonald’s All American game is the premiere showcase for elite boys and girls high school basketball players across the country. Some of the game’s greatest current and former athletes have earned a spot on the 24-person rosters, including names like Candace Parker, Trae Young, Caitlin Clark, Jayson Tatum, Angel Reese, Kevin Durant, Breanna Stewart, and so many others. Some recent Detroit-area players include Keith Appling, Amir Williams, Ray McCallum Jr., and Detroit’s first girl’s McDonald’s All-American, Rickea Jackson.
Now, the next generation of Detroit-area players has the opportunity to make the team of McDonald’s All-Americans, as the list of 2024 nominees include 10 Southeastern Michigan players, but none from the city of Detroit or Detroit Public Schools.
