sportsJul 2, 202631795

The WNBA named ten starters for the 2026 All-Star Game in Chicago: Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell of the Indiana Fever; A'ja Wilson; Paige Bueckers; Jessica Shepard; Natasha Howard; Olivia Miles; Gabby Williams; and Breanna Stewart. The exhibition will be played July 25 at Chicago's United Center and reserves and head coaches have not yet been determined. Boston is a four-time All-Star averaging a career-high 17.0 points per game, has made 20 three-pointers this season and is shooting 85.4 percent from the free throw line. Clark was voted to start her third straight All-Star Game, has appeared in 17 of Indiana's 19 games, and is tied for third in the league with 21.2 points per game. Mitchell is a four-time All-Star and is second in the league in scoring at 21.6 points per game, while A'ja Wilson is an eight-time All-Star averaging 25.7 points and leading the league with two blocks per game. Olivia Miles is the lone rookie starter, averaging 18.7 points and 5.7 assists per game, and Jessica Shepard is a first-time All-Star averaging 14.3 points, 11.5 rebounds and 5.4 assists with two triple-doubles this season. Voting for starters weighted fans 50 percent and players and a media panel 25 percent each, and league legends Teresa Weatherspoon and Cynthia Cooper will serve as All-Star general managers for roster drafting.

This is insane for Howard. Getting slandered by the children of the corn last year to then having a career year as a 34 year old. 🙌🏻 #WNBA

Marina Mabrey should have CC spot.

You just have to accept Caitlin is gonna be a starter every season for the foreseeable future. At least you can make a case for her earning it on the merits this year.

Hell yes Liv and Tash! Indy having 3 starters is lol.

I was one of the media voters. Went 6-for-6 on the frontcourt selections here and my guards were Paige, Miles, Rhyne and Plum. Thought about taking off KP for Caitlin but decided it wasn't fair to punish KP for getting injured at the exact time ballots were due. It all worked out in the end.

Woooowwwwwww. Man, Fever fans are the worst. Way to ruin everything.

2x CURRENT LYNX, 1x PREVIOUS LYNX, and A MN BORN PLAYER FOUND BY CHERYL …that’s half the All-Star Starters curated by CHERYL REEVE.

Zach Hymanbergstein2

This is a solid list, even if I’d personally make a swap or two. The real question is who gets snubbed from reserves. #WNBA

I think she will be in the reserve pool but she should be a starter.

Lynx's Olivia Miles and Natasha Howard are 2026 WNBA All-Star starters. Miles is the only rookie starter this year, the first Lynx rookie All-Star since Collier (2019) and first Lynx rookie All-Star starter since Maya Moore (2011). Howard gets her third All-Star nod ('19, '22).

"The StudBudz have a funny way of making non-WNBA fans into fans, and of turning fans into superfans. Nothing demonstrates the sheer contagiousness of their friendship more than their marathon All-Star Weekend livestream in Indianapolis — a media event that unironically belongs in history books."
