Caitlin Clark and Napheesa Collier will captain the WNBA All-Star Game next month the league announced Sunday.
Clark received 1,293,526 votes from fans while Collier had about 100,000 fewer.
The Indiana Fever star, who is sidelined with a groin strain, is averaging 18.2 points and a career-high 8.9 assists per game. She also led the fan voting last season, her rookie year, but the All-Star format was the U.S. Olympic team playing against a select group of WNBA stars so no captains were chosen.
Collier leads the league in scoring at a career-best 24.5 points and is fourth in rebounding at 8.4 a game.
The Fever and Lynx will play each other on Tuesday in the Commissioner’s Cup final.
The 10 starters were selected from across the WNBA without regard to conference affiliation. Current players and a media panel joined fans in selecting the All-Star starters. Fans voting accounted for 50% while the players vote and the media choices each account for 25%.
The pair will draft their fellow starters from a group that will be revealed on Monday. After the starters are announced, the league’s head coaches will choose the 13 reserves by voting for three guards, five frontcourt players and four from either position. Coaches can’t vote for players from their own teams. The 12 reserves will be revealed next Sunday.
The two All-Star captains 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.

Clark and Collier also led the initial fan voting with Indiana’s Aliyah Boston in third. Boston finished second last season behind Clark in the fan vote.
The All-Star Game is on July 19 in Indianapolis.

Ace Bailey clears air on joining Jazz, denies that he planned not to report to team
Utah Jazz rookie Ace Bailey has been one of the biggest talking points of the offseason because of the drama in the days leading up to the 2025 NBA Draft. With Cooper Flagg and Dylan Harper locks to go No. 1 and No. 2 on draft night, all eyes were on Bailey, who had canceled a workout with the Philadelphia 76ers, the holders of the No. 3 pick.The 76ers and Charlotte Hornets passed on Bailey, but the Utah Jazz did not and surprisingly chose the Rutgers star with the No. 5 pick. The selection came on the heels of Bailey's representation, which includes manager Omar Cooper, reportedly telling at least one team drafting in the top five that Bailey would not report if they picked him.Despite all of those rumblings, Bailey has arrived in Salt Lake City and made his first public comments since […]
Angel Reese gets her spark back, shines with another double-double in Sky’s impressive road win over Sparks
Angel Reese reached a season-high in scoring and made WNBA history in the process during the Chicago Sky's 92-85 win over the Los Angeles Sparks on Sunday. This result was much-needed for the Sky, who had lost four of their last five games. And it also showed that perhaps Reese has shaken off the sophomore slump she was dealing with earlier this season.In Sunday's win, Reese posted 24 points and 16 rebounds, becoming the first player in league history to tally at least 15 rebounds in four consecutive matchups. This was her 36th career double-double, and she achieved it in just her 50th WNBA game. She went 10 of 19 from the field and did a little bit of everything to help the Sky with seven assists, two blocks and a steal."I went through a storm in the first eight games […]
