A’ja Wilson and Caitlin Clark lead the WNBA All-Star fan voting

The Las Vegas Aces star received the most fan votes last season, but that total was only 95,860.

Breanna Stewart of New York is fourth and Arike Ogunbowale of Dallas is fifth. Chicago’s Angel Reese is seventh in the voting and is the only other rookie in the top 10. Fellow freshmen Cameron Brink and Kate Martin were just outside the top 10 in 11th and 12th.

Sabrina Ionescu of New York (sixth), Kelsey Plum of Las Vegas (eighth), Napheesa Collier of Minnesota (ninth) and Dearica Hamby of Los Angeles (10th) round out the top ten.

The All-Star Game will be played in Phoenix on July 20 and will pit WNBA All-Stars against the U.S. Olympic team.

All-Stars are chosen by a combination of fan votes (50%), current WNBA players (25%) and media (25%).

After voting closes, the top ten vote-getters will be named as All-Star Game participants, with all players competing for the U.S. on the Olympic team remaining on their team. The remainder of the WNBA team is chosen by the league’s coaches from a group of the next 36 highest-voted players, including 15 post players and nine guards.

Coaches are not allowed to vote for their own players.

The final WNBA All-Star Game selections will be announced on July 2.
