Indiana Fever teammates Aliyah Boston and Caitlin Clark have surged to first and second place in fan voting for this year's WNBA All-Star Game, the league announced Wednesday. The pair leapfrogged early leader A'ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces, who now sits third. Boston, last year's Rookie of the Year, and Clark, this year's No. 1 overall draft pick, have transformed Indiana into a rising contender and captured the fan imagination with their dynamic play.
Fan voting accounts for 50% of the selection process, with current players and a media panel each contributing 25% to determine the final rosters. The All-Star Game is scheduled for July 20 in Phoenix, and the final selections will be revealed after voting closes. The surge reflects the Fever's growing national profile after years of rebuilding.
For the four-time MVP Wilson, the third-place slot is notable after she led the initial returns. She trails Clark by roughly 11,000 votes, a margin that could shift before the final tally. The Aces remain the defending champions, and Wilson's on-court production continues to be elite, underscoring that fan sentiment does not always mirror competitive merit.
The top two vote-getters among guards and frontcourt players earn starting spots, though Boston (forward/center) and Clark (guard) are not yet assured those roles. Fever fans will be watching closely as voting concludes, with both players likely to make the final 12-woman roster regardless of starting designation.
“It's an honor to see the support from Fever Nation,” Boston said in a league release, while Clark added that “the fans have been incredible all season.” The teammate dynamic adds a compelling narrative to an already star-studded event.
