Fever's Caitlin Clark gets big news about All-Star starter hopes

1 hour ago 2

When last we heard about WNBA All-Star fan vote returns, Caitlin Clark was a lower-than-expected fifth, behind A'ja Wilson, Paige Bueckers, Aliyah Boston and Breanna Stewart.

In the span of a week, everything has changed.

Aliyah Boston and Caitlin Clark have jumped up to first and second, respectively, in the second returns of fan voting for All-Star.

Boston was third and Clark was fifth in the first return last week.

When the WNBA revealed its second round of fan-led voting returns for next month's All-Star Game in Chicago, Clark had shot up to second with 670,510 votes.

Boston, her Indiana Fever teammate, is the new pace-setter with 683,996 votes.

The WNBA on Wednesday further revealed its process for naming the players who will start at United Center in the All-Star Game on July 25.

Utilizing a composite score based on fan, media and player votes, the WNBA will calculate the average weighted rank from each potential All-Star.

The four guards and six frontcourt players with the best scores will start the All-Star Game.

Under this process, with this new swell of support, Clark is well-positioned to start for the third successive season -- and she is likely to receive more than 1 million fan votes again too.

Clark is averaging 21.3 points and 8.2 assists per game this season, the only player in the WNBA to rank in the top three in both categories.

Boston meanwhile has increased her scoring average to 16.6 points per game while adding 8.6 rebounds and 2.4 stocks (steals and blocks) per night.
