Overview
- The WNBA announced the 10 All‑Star starters on Thursday, July 2, with Caitlin Clark, A'ja Wilson, Paige Bueckers and rookie Olivia Miles among the selections and the Indiana Fever supplying three starters.
- Starters were chosen by a weighted system that gives fans 50 percent of the vote while media and current players each count for 25 percent.
- Reporting showed a sharp mismatch in the player ballots, most notably that fellow players ranked Caitlin Clark 11th among guards, a contrast to her high fan and media placement.
- ESPN and other outlets reported that only about 85 of 180 players cast ballots and that some teams had procedural problems distributing ballots, which critics say could have skewed results.
- Next steps: league head coaches will pick 12 reserves under rules that bar voting for their own players, two WNBA legends will act as honorary general managers to form teams, and All‑Star Weekend runs July 24–25 in Chicago with the game at the United Center on July 25.
