All-Star voting, whether in the NHL, MLB, or the WNBA, is a fierce competition. Player productivity is crucial, especially when competing against the best in basketball. A standout performance can secure All-Star recognition, while a poor showing can be detrimental.
Fever star Caitlin Clark and Sky standout Angel Reese are among the top players vying for the prestigious 2024 WNBA All-Star spots. This year’s All-Star Game format adds excitement, providing opportunities for some players whose stats might not initially seem worthy of All-Star status.

How Does WNBA All-Star Voting Work?
Between June 13 and June 29, fans cast their ballots to determine the 2024 All-Star honorees. This year, the process was unique due to the upcoming Olympics. The league’s top All-Star vote-getters were pitted against Team USA’s 5-on-5 Olympic women’s basketball roster before heading to Paris.
There was significant overlap between popular vote-getters and those named to Team USA’s roster. To simplify, any top vote-getter already on Team USA was removed from Team WNBA. Any top 10 vote-getter not on Team USA’s 5×5 squad was automatically placed on Team WNBA.
The fan vote accounted for 50% of the total vote for Team WNBA’s All-Star starters. The remaining 50% was divided between current WNBA players and the league’s sportswriters.
USA Olympics Women’s Basketball Roster
