Angel Reese left off WNBA All-Star ballot by USA Today writer Meghan Hall

WNBA All-Star Voting is now live through June 28, allowing fans all around the country to vote for their favorite WNBA stars to play in the All-Star game in Indianapolis. Per WNBA.com, the two All-Star captains – the starters who receive the most fan votes – will draft their respective rosters by selecting first from the remaining eight players in the pool of starters and then from the pool of 12 reserves.

In the first returns of the fan-voting (which were revealed last week), Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese garnered the 13th most votes among WNBA players (173,363). If this mark holds, it would mark the second consecutive season that the LSU alum would be a part of the event.

Reese, who is averaging 11.3 points, 11.9 rebounds and 3.7 assists in her sophomore season, was, however, left off of USA Today writer Meghan Hall’s All-Star ballot. Hall selected four guards and six frontcourt players to be starters for the game. Her selections are below:

Guards

Frontcourt

Napheesa Collier (Minnesota Lynx)

Breanna Stewart (New York Liberty)

Nneka Ogwumike (Seattle Storm)

Satou Sabally (Phoenix Mercury)

Alyssa Thomas (Phoenix Mercury)

A’ja Wilson (Las Vegas Aces)

Reese notched her first career triple-double in the Chicago Sky’s 78-66 win over the Connecticut Sun on June 15. In the victory, Reese tallied 11 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists while shooting 2-7 from the field. She recorded three steals and two blocks in the win as well.

The 2023 NCAA Champion’s triple-double is only the second in the WNBA this season. Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark posted a triple-double in the Fever’s win over the Sky in the WNBA season opener.

Her success didn’t come without some pushback, however. Midway through the third quarter of that game, Reese got into an altercation with several Connecticut Sun players after they fouled her on a shot attempt. The referees had to step between the players. Reese was assessed a technical foul for the play, her second of the season.

This isn’t the first time this season that Reese has nearly come to blows with an opponent. After Caitlin Clark committed a Flagrant 1 foul against her in May, Reese went after the WNBA superstar. Clark’s teammate, Aliyah Boston, ultimately got in Reese’s way, however, and the officials gave both players technical fouls. Reese received immense backlash for her response to Clark’s hard foul.

With both Clark and Reese looking like they’ll both be selected for the event, we could see another clash between the superstars sooner rather than later. The 2025 WNBA All-Star Game will take place on July 19 on ABC (8:30 p.m. ET).
