The Indiana Fever took to social media on Wednesday to share an important update involving Caitlin Clark.

The first fan returns for the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game has been released by the WNBA, and the Fever decided to share the update on Instagram.

Surprisingly, Clark ranked fifth among the Top 10 vote-getters across the league. The former Iowa Hawkeyes star received 253,602 votes.

Aliyah Boston finished above Clark. The Fever forward amassed 282,186 votes for third place. Kelsey Mitchell received 170,125 votes to finish 10th.

It’s reigning WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson who received the most votes from the fans with 308,249. A distant second is reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year Paige Bueckers with 298,027 votes.

Caitlin Clark drops to fifth in All-Star fan votes

It is important to note that Clark finished first among all players in fan votes over the past two seasons. This is exactly why more than a few fans could not believe that she dropped all the way to fifth in this year’s vote.

“Zero chance that is accurate –

” a comment on Instagram read.

“Not buying into this from the W. No way CC is #5. If you haven’t voted, go vote daily,” said another.

“Something’s wrong here! Seriously, no way Caitlin’s #5,” declared a supporter.

“Wow this looks rigged

ain’t no way CC is #5?!” a reaction read.

“Xfinity RIGGING the votes,” another said.

“They are rigging everything im sure bits are involved fans have to get one voting,” a fan wrote.

The good news for Clark fans is that this is just the first batch of votes. Supporters still have a chance to pull Clark’s standing as voting runs through June 27.

Fan votes account for 50% of the total tally. Players and the media will also vote, each accounting for 25% of the total vote.

This year’s All-Star Game will be held at United Center in Chicago on July 25. At this point, Clark fans still have plenty of time to make sure she finishes at the top of the vote for a third straight year.
