The selection process for the All-Star starters

The All-Star Game starters were automatically selected from the top 10 All-Star vote-getters, which were decided by 50% of fans, 25% of current players, and 25% of the media.

Captains were chosen from among the top two vote-getters. Collier received 1,176,020 fan votes, while Clark finished with a WNBA-high 1,293,526.

For whom are the All-Star reserves chosen? How are coaches selected?

There will be twelve reserves selected for the All-Star Game. Regardless of conference, the 13 head coaches in the league choose them by casting votes for three guards, five frontcourt players, and four players at each position. It is forbidden for coaches to cast ballots for their own players.

The WNBA’s social media and digital outlets will start announcing the 12 reserves at noon ET on Sunday.

WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert will select a replacement player if a player is unable to participate in the All-Star Game.

The league standings determine which head coaches are selected as All-Stars. Regardless of conference, the head coaches of the two teams with the greatest records going into Friday’s games will be chosen All-Star coaches. Clark received the most votes from fans, and the head coach with the best record as of Friday will coach Clark’s All-Star team.

How will the teams be picked?

On July 8, Clark and Collier will pick their rosters as All-Star captains during an hour-long WNBA Countdown (7 p.m. ET, ESPN). The pool of eight starters will be chosen first, then the pool of twelve reserves.
