Four Las Vegas Aces players are on the list, with superstar A’ja Wilson leading the WNBA in votes. Kelsey Plum, Jackie Young and rookie Kate Martin are also included as they are members of the back-to-back champions.

Even though they are 6-10 this season, four Indiana Fever are in the top 18 and six players in total from the team are garnering a massive amount of votes. Women’s basketball sensation Caitlin Clark is just 1,346 votes away from Wilson for the lead based on this latest tabulation. Aliyah Boston is third while NaLyssa Smith and Kelsey Mitchell are No. 17 and 18, respectively.

Other 2024 WNBA Draft picks named above include Angel Reese, Kamilla Cardoso and Cameron Brink who are all in the top 16. Though she is No. 11, Brink will be out for the remainder of the season after she tore her ACL on her left knee.

With the All-Star Game to be hosted in Phoenix, Mercury stars Kahleah Copper (No. 19) and Brittney Griner (No. 22) have cracked the top 30. Former Mercury DeWanna Bonner (No. 14) and Skylar Diggins-Smith (No. 28) are also included and could return to the Valley to represent the WNBA.

Fan voting continues from now until it concludes on June 29 at 8:59 p.m. PT. The action-packed game is slated for July 20 at 5:30 p.m. PT.

From now until the deadline, fans can submit one ballot on WNBA.com and the WNBA App each day. Fans can also vote for up to a maximum of 10 players (four backcourt, six frontcourt) a day. Conferences (West and East) in which a player is in is not a factor.

Be on the lookout for the three “2-for-1 Days” on WNBA.com and the WNBA App which gives fans a chance for their votes to count twice on June 16, June 22 and June 27. These days will last from 9 p.m. P.T. (the night before) to 8:59 p.m. PT.
