Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark and Minnesota Lynx forward Napheesa Collier are the two fan-voted players and will be captains for the WNBA All-Star Game, the league announced on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The game between Team Clark and Team Collier will be held at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, home of the Fever, on July 19 at 8:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on ABC.<\/p>\n
Clark received 1,293,526 votes from the fans, while Collier received 1,176,020.<\/p>\n
The other eight starters, selected by the fans (50%), the players (25%) and the media (25%), will be announced on Monday during the NBA free agency special, which begins at 7 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n
The 12 reserves will be chosen by the league’s coaches and announced via the WNBA’s social and digital platforms on July 6 at 12 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n
Clark and Collier will select their All-Star rosters from the starters and reserves during “WNBA Countdown” on July 8 at 7 p.m. ET, before the game between the New York Liberty and the Las Vegas Aces.<\/p>\n
This is the second All-Star selection for Clark, in her second season in the WNBA. For Collier, it’s her fifth All-Star selection, who was drafted in 2019.<\/p>\n
Clark and Collier won the Rookie of the Year award in their first seasons and were on the All-WNBA first team last year.<\/p>\n
Clark averages 18.2 points and 8.9 assists, but has missed the last two Fever games due to a groin injury. Collier leads the WNBA in scoring (24.5 PPG) and is fourth in rebounds (8.4 RPG).<\/p>\n
Their teams, Fever and Lynx, will face off on Tuesday for the Commissioner’s Cup championship, which will be played at the Target Center in Minnesota at 8 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
