Summary
A 10-player media ballot for the 2026 WNBA All-Star starters backed A'ja Wilson, Olivia Miles, Caitlin Clark, Paige Bueckers and Rhyne Howard, plus Breanna Stewart, Aliyah Boston, Natasha Howard, Gabby Williams and Jessica Shepard.
The voter said availability and winning drove the choices, selecting only players from the league's top seven teams and penalizing absences such as Kelsey Plum's.
Wilson was framed as the clearest pick and likely MVP front-runner, averaging 25.1 points for the 13-5 Aces, while rookie Miles was labeled an MVP candidate for the league-leading 14-4 Lynx.
The ballot also highlighted Boston as the fan-vote leader and Clark as Indiana's offensive engine, while leaving out notable candidates including Angel Reese, Jonquel Jones, Marina Mabrey and Plum.
Only 10 starters can be chosen by media, but the full All-Star pool will include 24 players, leaving many omissions likely to make the team as reserves.
