Early results from All-Star fan voting are in, and Sky forward Angel Reese sits just outside the top 10 at No. 13. She has received 173,363 votes so far.
Reese has acknowledged that she’s struggled in her sophomore campaign. But she once again leads the league in rebounding with 11.7 per game and is also averaging 11 points.
“If you average a double-double, you deserve to be an All-Star,” Sky guard Rachel Banham told the Sun-Times.
Reese made her first All-Star team as a rookie and became the first rookie to record a double-double in the game. She played for Team WNBA, who beat the U.S. Olympic team behind Arike Ogunbowale’s 34 points.
The Sky’s only other player in the top 40 in fan voting is center Kamilla Cardoso, who ranks 22nd with 95,986 votes. She’s currently top 15 in the league in rebounding and improved her scoring average from last season.
“She came back and looked better,” Reese said of Cardoso this season. “You can see that around the basket. Her being more aggressive, her being more efficient, her being just… ‘Mil.”
“I hope she’s there,” Reese added. “Last year was kind of sad. I wasn’t with anybody [at the All-Star game]. So hopefully I can have somebody that I really really know.”
So far, the Fever’s Caitlin Clark and the Lynx’s Napheesa Collier lead fan voting, with 515,993 and 484,758 votes, respectively. Clark is averaging 19.9 points per game and ranks second in the league in assists with 8.7 per game. Collier leads the league in scoring at 24.4 points per game and the Lynx sit atop the standings at 11–1.
All-Star starters will be chosen based on fan, player, and media voting. Each group gets a say, and the top four guards and six frontcourt players with the best combined scores will be named starters.
Then, head coaches will vote to select 12 reserves: three guards, five frontcourt players, and four more at any position. Coaches may not vote for players on their own team. Still, Sky head coach Tyler Marsh made the case for his young bigs.
“Who wouldn’t want the skyscrapers in there?” Marsh said.
The two players with the most fan votes will be team captains. They’ll draft from the pool of starters and reserves to finalize the rosters.
ESPN will broadcast the All-Star draft on Tuesday, July 8, at 7 p.m. ET. The 2025 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game will take place in Indianapolis on July 19.
