Caitlin Clark, A'ja Wilson, Bueckers, Reese Among Top WNBA All-Star Game Vote-Getters in 1st Update

Las Vegas Aces center A'ja Wilson and Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers are leading the way in the WNBA's first voting returns for the 2026 All-Star Game.

Wilson has received 308,249 votes to 298,027 for Bueckers. The Indiana Fever's Caitlin Clark is fifth overall and second among guards, while Atlanta Fever forward Angel Reese is seventh and fifth, respectively.

Wings fans are making their presence felt.

Bueckers' position in the balloting isn't a surprise. She's averaging 19.0 points and 5.8 assists while shooting 42.6 percent from beyond the arc. The 2025 Rookie of the Year merits serious All-Star consideration, and she built a big following in college that will make her a mainstay in ASGs for years to come.

Teammate Jessica Shepard isn't as much of a household name but has vaulted ahead of some established stars. Averaging a double-double (13.7 points and 11.6 rebounds) and a career-high 5.7 assists has helped in that regard.

Azzi Fudd (11th overall) could be in the All-Star conversation as well despite not having a rookie season on par with what Bueckers, Clark and Reese did in their first years.

At the other end of the spectrum, the Aces aren't all that well represented despite being tied for the WNBA's second-best record (10-4).

Having already made history as a four-time MVP, Wilson could be headed for a fifth given what she's doing on a nightly basis (25.6 points, 9.0 rebounds and 2.2 blocks). At the very least, she's a lock to start the All-Star Game.

You have to go all the way down to 30th to find the next Vegas player (NaLyssa Smith). Jackie Young, an All-Star for four straight years, is 32nd on the fan ballot, while six-time All-Star Chelsea Gray is 37th.

Thanks to Napheesa Collier still waiting to make her 2026 debut, the Minnesota Lynx could have a level of ASG representation that doesn't reflect their strong start, either.

Guard Olivia Miles (18.1 points, 5.0 rebounds and 5.8 assists) has been the top performer from the 2026 rookie class, and she should make the All-Star Game with ease. But forward Natasha Howard and guard Courtney Williams were the only other Lynx players in the top 40.

Fan voting will draw to a close June 27. It accounts for 50 percent of the overall weighted score to determine who's an All-Star starter. Players and the media equally split the remaining 50 percent.

The fan returns aren't the sole determinant for who starts, but it can be tough to overcome a low position on the ballot. Last year, the Atlanta Dream's Allisha Gray had the worst finish among guards (seventh) while still making the cut. Nneka Ogwumike and Satou Sabally were the last two frontcourt players after being ranked ninth and eighth by the fans.
