How are WNBA All-Star Game starters decided?

All-Star starters are determined by polling fans, current players and a media panel. Fans make up 50% of the vote, while players and media take up 25% each.

Reserves for the game are selected by WNBA head coaches. They will be announced this Sunday.

The league’s top two votegetters Clark and Collier will serve as captains for their respective teams and draft from the eight remaining starters and 12 reserves. Rosters will be announced July 8.

Head coaches, meanwhile, are decided by the best two records through July 4. Minnesota’s Cheryl Reeve (14-2) will coach Clark’s squad, while Phoenix’s Nate Tibbetts (12-5) is currently in the running to secure the other head-coaching spot.
