The WNBA announced the remaining eight starters for the star match in 2025 after being revealed the star of the Indiana Fever Caitlin Clark and the Lynx leader in Minnesota, Napheesa Collier, will be the captains of this year.
While looking at the global scores after the voting process, Clark’s position among his peers seemed surprising.
There are three voting groups for the WNBA star process: the rank of fans, the row of the media and the rank of players for guards and players in the front area. While Clark was the first in the votes of the fans and the third among the media, his colleagues players of the WNBA ranked his ninth among the guards.

Clark finished second among all players largely because fans votes represent 50% of the votes to determine beginners. But it was Dallas Wings’ recruit, Paige Bueckers, the overall choice n ° 1 of the WNBA draft earlier this year, taking first place after finishing second in the rank of fans, fifth in the media and fourth in the row of player among the guards.
Allisha Gray of Atlanta Dream, one of the starters of the stars of the WNBA, finished first in the rank and the rank of the players, while players like Skylar Diggins of Seattle, Sabrina Ionescu and Natasha Cloud of New York, Brittney Sykes of Washington and more finished above Clark in terms of classification of players.

Perhaps a main reason why Clark’s peers have classified it so low among the guards is due to playing only nine of the 16 games of the fever this season. Clark faced injuries during her second season, which is now continuing because she has missed the last two games.
Clark had also had a hard time in recent times, going only 13 out of 47 in a three -point territory in its last three games.
However, Clark is on average 18.2 points, 8.9 assists, five rebounds and 1.6 interceptions on 33.3 minutes per game this season. Only Alyssa Thomas de Phoenix Mercury – which could be among the 12 reserves of stars’ matches, which will be selected by the head coaches of the League and announced this Sunday – has more aid per game (9.3), and she touched hardwood in 12 competitions this season.
Clark obtained 1,293,526 votes from the fans.

While Clark was an integral part of the rise in the popularity of the WNBA from its record of records and league last season with fever, there were many controversial moments during this period of matches with opponents.
This season, a physical altercation broke out against the Connecticut sun, during which Clark was hit in the face and pushed to the ground during a room. Later in the match, his Clark teammate Sophie Cunningham repaired against the Solar Guard Jacy Sheldon in another fight that led to ejections.
And, of course, Clark was the center of the national sports conversation after cases against the Sun, Chicago Sky and others.
But Clark and Collier will be those who will write the players of their All-Star teams, and now they know who will start with them at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Clark’s Fever Home, on July 19.
