SouthernWorldwide.com – The 10 starters for the upcoming WNBA All-Star Game, scheduled for July 25, have been officially revealed, with Indiana Fever’s star player Caitlin Clark securing a coveted spot.
However, Clark is not the sole representative from the Indiana Fever among the starting lineup. Her teammates, Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell, have also earned starting positions for the highly anticipated game, which is set to be held in Chicago.
The selection process for the starters involved a voting system where fans accounted for 50% of the total vote. The remaining 25% of the vote came from current WNBA players, with a media panel contributing the final 25% to determine the starting rosters.
Both players and media panelists were tasked with submitting a single ballot, which was structured to include four guards and six frontcourt players. Ultimately, Clark, Boston, and Mitchell will be making their third consecutive appearance at the WNBA All-Star Game together.
This marks the first time all three players have been voted in as starters. Aliyah Boston had previously received this honor in 2023 and 2025, while Caitlin Clark has been a starter for the past two years. Kelsey Mitchell, on the other hand, will be making her debut as an All-Star starter this year, having previously been a replacement in 2025.
The Indiana Fever are not the only team boasting multiple starters in this year’s All-Star Game. The Dallas Wings will also have two players in the starting lineup: guard Paige Bueckers and forward Jessica Shepard. Additionally, Natasha Howard and Olivia Miles of the Minnesota Lynx are set to start in Chicago.
Completing the starting ten are some of the league’s most prominent stars. A’ja Wilson, the four-time league MVP from the Las Vegas Aces, will be starting, alongside two-time MVP Breanna Stewart of the New York Liberty. Gabby Williams of the Golden State Valkyries rounds out the starting five.
This year’s WNBA All-Star Game will feature a revised format for team selection. Since 2018, with the exception of the 2020 season impacted by COVID-19, the top two vote-getters were designated as captains and had the responsibility of choosing their respective teams.
In a move to honor the league’s 30th anniversary, two WNBA legends, Cynthia Cooper and Teresa Weatherspoon, will step into the roles of general managers. They will be responsible for selecting their rosters from the pool of 22 All-Stars who have earned the opportunity to represent their teams in Chicago.
Caitlin Clark’s inclusion as a starter was undoubtedly well-deserved. She is currently averaging a career-high 21.2 points per game, placing her fifth among all WNBA players this season. Furthermore, she ranks second in assists with an impressive 8.2 per game, continuing to set new benchmarks in the WNBA.
Clark has already achieved remarkable milestones this year, becoming the fastest player in WNBA history to surpass both 1,000 career points and 500 career assists. These accomplishments, among others, have been a significant highlight, especially considering the challenges and injuries she navigated during her sophomore season in 2025.
With the 10 starters now announced, the league will reveal the 12 reserve players at a later date, adding further excitement to the upcoming WNBA All-Star Game.
