Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark leads all players in the first wave of WNBA All-Star fan voting, pulling in over half a million votes (515,993 to be exact). Minnesota Lynx star Napheesa Collier is just behind her in the voting with 484,758 votes.
Clark’s on-court numbers back up the fuss. She is averaging 19.9 points and 8.7 assists per game, second only to Alyssa Thomas in the assist category. However, Clark is not the only Fever star among the most voted players.
Aliyah Boston, Kelsey Mitchell, and Lexie Hull also landed in the top 10. Boston, who was 2023 Rookie of the Year, sits comfortably among league stars like A’ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart in the top five.
Meanwhile, Mitchell and Hull round out the list at seventh and ninth respectively, signaling strong fan support for a Fever squad that’s finding its groove through the season. And, it’s rather fitting that the Fever are well represented in the voting.
Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis will host the 2025 All-Star Weekend on July 18 and 19, setting the stage for what could be a very Fever-flavored celebration. If the fan vote holds, Indiana could see four of its own suit up as All-Stars in front of a home crowd.

How does the WNBA All-Star selection process work?
The All-Star selection process is a mix of fan support and peer recognition. Fan votes account for 50 percent, while current players and a media panel each contribute 25 percent. Players are ranked by position, guard and frontcourt, and scores are tallied to determine the starters. Once that is settled, the league’s head coaches select the 12 reserves.
The two players with the most fan votes will serve as team captains and draft their rosters in a televised event on ESPN scheduled for July 8. Fans have until June 28 to cast their ballots.
