Las Vegas Aces News Release
NEW YORK - Kia WNBA Rookie of the Year and 2024 All-WNBA First Team selection Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever and 2024 Kia WNBA Defensive Player of the Year and Kia WNBA MVP runner-up Napheesa Collier of the Minnesota Lynx lead the voting after the first fan returns in WNBA All-Star Voting 2025 presented by Ally.
The 2025 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game will be played in Indianapolis at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, home of the Fever, on Saturday, July 19 on ABC (8:30 p.m. ET). The game broadcast will be preceded by a half-hour edition of WNBA Countdown on ABC (8 p.m. ET).
AT&T WNBA All-Star 2025 will feature the league's biggest and brightest stars selected from across the WNBA without regard to conference affiliation. WNBA players and media will join fans in selecting the All-Star starters. Fans will account for 50 percent of the vote, while all current players and a media panel will account for 25 percent each. Players and media panelists will be able to complete one ballot, featuring four guards and six frontcourt players.
Clark, a WNBA All-Star last season as a rookie, leads all players with 515,993 votes. Collier, a three-time All-WNBA Team selection and four-time All-Star, is second with 484,758 votes. Clark is averaging career-highs of 19.9 ppg and 8.7 apg. Collier ranks No. 1 in the WNBA in scoring (a career-high 24.4 ppg) and sixth in rebounding (8.5 rpg) while guiding the Lynx to a 11-1 mark, the league's best record.
Clark and Collier are followed in the fan voting by two-time All-Star Aliyah Boston of the Fever (446,961), three-time Kia WNBA MVP and six-time All-Star A'ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces (394,600), and two-time Kia WNBA MVP and six-time All-Star Breanna Stewart of the defending champion New York Liberty (367,819). Wilson and Stewart both served as captains for the 2022 and 2023 AT&T WNBA All-Star Games, when they finished first and second, respectively, in fan voting. Wilson also was a captain in 2019.
Rounding out the top 10 vote-getters are 2025 No. 1 overall draft pick and current 11th-ranked scorer (17.7 ppg) Paige Bueckers of the Dallas Wings (312,920), two-time All-Star and the WNBA's No. 13 scorer this season (17.1 ppg) Kelsey Mitchell of the Fever (277,664), three-time All-Star and the sixth-leading scorer in 2025 (20.4 ppg), Sabrina Ionescu of the Liberty (234,684), guard Lexie Hull of the Fever (217,438), whose career-high 56.3 percentage on three-point field goals ranks second in the WNBA this year, and 2025 No. 4 overall draft pick Kiki Iriafen of the Washington Mystics (213,500), who ranks fourth in rebounding (9.0 rpg).
After all votes are tallied, players will be ranked by position (guard and frontcourt) within each of the three voting groups - fan votes, player votes and media votes. Each player's score will be calculated by averaging the weighted rank from the fan votes, the player votes and the media votes. The four guards and six frontcourt players with the best score will be named as starters for AT&T WNBA All-Star 2025. Fan voting will serve as the tiebreaker for players in a position group with the same score.
After the starters have been determined, the league's head coaches will select the 12 reserves. The head coaches will vote for three guards, five frontcourt players and four players at either position regardless of conference. Coaches may not vote for players on their own team. The announcement dates for both the starters and reserves will be shared later this month.
The two All-Star captains - the starters who receive the most fan votes - will then draft their respective rosters by selecting first from the remaining eight players in the pool of starters and then from the pool of 12 reserves. ESPN will broadcast the results of the roster draft for the 2025 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game during an hourlong edition of WNBA Countdown on Tuesday, July 8 (7 p.m. ET).
