WNBA Announces Disappointing Dream News on Friday

Originally posted on Athlon Sports | By Dave Holcomb | Last updated Jun 20, 2025 1:59 PM ET

The Atlanta Dream possess an 8-4 record. Only three WNBA teams hold a better win percentage entering action on June 20.

But that hasn't led to the Dream getting more respect in the first round of 2025 WNBA All-Star voting.

With the first returns of fan voting, the league announced Friday that no Dream player is ranked in the top 13. Guard Allisha Gray leads all Dream players and is ranked 14th in voting across the WNBA.

Gray has received 1,68,349 votes.

The only other Dream player ranked in the top 25 in the first round of All-Star fan voting was Rhyne Howard. The fellow guard placed 25th with 80,477 votes.

Forward Brittney Griner came in third for the Dream in All-Star fan voting with 57,308 votes. Griner was ranked 37th overall.

Those three were the only Dream players that were in the top 40 of the early WNBA All-Star voting.

Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark led all players with 515,993 votes. Minnesota Lynx's Napheesa Collier, Fever's Aliyah Boston, Las Vegas Aces' A'ja Wilson and New York Liberty's Brenna Stewart rounded out the top five in voting.

The Fever have a 6-6 record but had four of the top 10 in the first round of WNBA All-Star voting.

Fan voting will account for 50 percent of what determines the WNBA All-Star teams. Current players and a media panel will combined to account for the other 50 percent (each group will have 25 percent of the vote).

Fan voters are permitted to cast a ballot once per day until voting ends on June 28. On June 14, June 20 and June 27, fans are allowed to cast two ballots.

A fan's ballot must include at least one player and can have a maximum of 10 players. The ballot is divided into guards and frontcourt players -- each ballot may include up to four guards and six forwards.

Voting can be done without regard for conferences.

The 2025 WNBA All-Star Game will occur at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana on July 19. The game will tip at 8:30 pm ET and air on ABC.
