The WNBA named its starters for this year’s All-Star game which will take place July 25 in Chicago. Unsurprisingly, Fever superstar Caitlin Clark earned her third All-Star nod in as many seasons. What was surprising, though, is how low she finished in the player vote.
All-Star starters are determined through results from fan, media and player voting. The fan vote accounts for 50% of the result, while the media and player pool makes up 25% of the vote apiece. Clark finished second in fan voting and third in media voting, behind only Paige Bueckers in the fan vote and after Olivia Miles and Bueckers in the media vote. Clark made it as an All-Star starter safely, but she finished as the 11th guard in the player vote—a shockingly low finish amongst her peers.
