The WNBA All-Star Game is fast approaching and the fan voting has already begun.

She currently has 217,773 votes, just ahead of Clark who has 216,427 votes.
Indiana’s Aliyah Boston is in third place in fan voting, trailing the leaders by about 40,000 votes. Breanna Stewart of the New York Liberty is in fourth place followed by Arike Ogunbowale of the Dallas Wings in fifth place. Chicago’s Angel Reese is in seventh place and is the only other rookie in the top 10. Sabrina Ionescu of New York, Kelsey Plum of Las Vegas, Napheesa Collier of Minnesota, and Dearica Hamby of Los Angeles round out the top 10 in fan voting.
The All-Star Game is scheduled for July 20 in Phoenix and will feature WNBA All-Stars facing off against the U.S. Olympic team. It’s worth noting that all-star team selections are determined by a combination of fan votes (50%), current WNBA players (25%), and media votes (25%). This makes it an exciting event that showcases not only fans’ preferences but also their appreciation for talent on and off the court
