Fellow players buried Caitlin Clark on WNBA All-Star Game ballots

[ASFN Admin]

Caitlin Clark is a WNBA All-Star Game starter, earning the third All-Star nod of her career.

But, it's no thanks to her peers. Clark was involved in one of the biggest voting discrepancies of the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game.

While fans and the media voted Clark second and third on their respective ballots among guards, Clark earned just the 11th-most votes from her fellow players. In order to select the WNBA All-Star Game starters, fans accounted for 50% of the vote, while current players and a media panel accounted for 25% each.

Caitlin Clark is 2nd in the WNBA in assists per game and T-4th in points per game.

A year ago, her fellow players ranked her as the 9th best guard in the league.

This year, they dropped her to 11th.

Along with Clark, fellow Fever stars Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell were named WNBA All-Star Game starters as well.

Of WNBA All-Star Game starters, Boston had one of the other biggest discrepancies among the voting groups. Boston was No. 1 with the fans, No. 5 with the media but just eighth on her fellow players' ballots.

Los Angeles Sparks guard Kelsey Plum was also hurt by the players' rankings, ranking No. 6 with fans, No. 5 with media, but just No. 12 with her fellow players.
