Collier earned the second-most fan votes with nearly 1.18 million. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year leads the WNBA in scoring at 24.4 points per game and ranks third in rebounds (8.5), helping the Lynx to a league-best 14–2 record.
The All-Star game will be held July 20 (PH time), Sunday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
Reigning top overall pick Paige Bueckers headlines the group of eight joining the captains. The Dallas Wings rookie becomes the first in franchise history and is logging 18.4 points and 5.8 assists per game to lead all rookies in both categories.
Joining Clark and Bueckers in the backcourt are Allisha Gray of the Atlanta Dream and Sabrina Ionescu of the defending champion New York Liberty.
Gray, now a three-time All-Star, is having a career year, averaging 19.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game.
Ionescu, in her fourth All-Star appearance, is averaging 18.6 points and ranks third in the league in three-pointers made per game (2.5) and fourth in total three-pointers made (38).
The frontcourt starters include the league’s last three MVP winners—A’ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces and Breanna Stewart of the Liberty—alongside Nneka Ogwumike of the Seattle Storm, Satou Sabally of the Phoenix Mercury and Boston.
Wilson, a three-time MVP and two-time WNBA champion, is making her seventh All-Star appearance. She ranks second in the league in scoring (21.6) and rebounding (9.9) and leads the WNBA in blocks (2.6).
Stewart, also a two-time MVP and reigning champion, is appearing in her seventh All-Star Game and is averaging 20.8 points for the 11–5 Liberty.
Ogwumike, in her 14th season, earned her 10th All-Star selection, tying Tamika Catchings and Brittney Griner for third-most in league history. She ranks among the WNBA’s top 15 in both scoring (17.0) and rebounding (7.9) while anchoring Seattle’s frontcourt in her first season with the Storm.
Boston, now a three-time All-Star in as many seasons, continues to be a dominant interior presence for Indiana. She is averaging a career-high 15.9 points, ranks sixth in rebounds (8.2) and leads the league in field goal percentage (59.7%).
Sabally, the 2023 Most Improved Player, is making her third All-Star appearance and her first as a member of the Mercury. She is averaging 19.1 points and 8.0 rebounds per game.
Clark and Collier will select their teams in the All-Star draft on Wednesday, July 9 (PH time). The league’s 12 reserves, chosen by WNBA head coaches, will be announced next week across the league’s digital platforms.
Coaches will vote for three guards, five frontcourt players and four players at any position, but cannot vote for their own players.
