The WNBA announced its 2024 All-Star teams<\/strong><\/a> on Tuesday night, featuring a pair of rookies for the first time since 2014. And those rookies landed a commanding share of the fan vote this season.<\/p>\n

The way the WNBA operates, All-Star selections are made through a combination of voting by fans (50% of the vote), current WNBA players (25%) and a national panel of sportswriters and broadcasters (25%).<\/p>\n

So if you can get the fan vote, you\u2019re in great shape.<\/p>\n

And the two rookies who made the team this year \u2014 the Indiana Fever\u2019s Caitlin Clark<\/a><\/strong> and the Chicago Sky\u2019s Angel Reese<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 are as popular as just about anyone in the league already.<\/p>\n

The fan vote was reflective of that.<\/p>\n

Clark took home nearly three quarters of a million votes, leading all vote-getters, rookie or otherwise. Reese finished fifth in the fan voting, securing just fewer than 400,000 votes. You can view the top five in voting below.<\/p>\n

Top Five WNBA All-Star Fan Votes<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Caitlin Clark \u2013 700,735 votes<\/p>\n

Aliyah Boston<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 618,680 votes<\/p>\n

A\u2019ja Wilson<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 607,300 votes<\/p>\n

Breanna Stewart<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 424,135 votes<\/p>\n

Angel Reese \u2013 381,518 votes<\/p>\n

Clark and Reese have both accomplished tremendous feats early in their WNBA careers.<\/p>\n

Clark, the No. 1 overall draft pick, is leading all rookies in scoring (16.2 PPG), assists (6.9 APG) and made 3-pointers (56). She very nearly became the first rookie in WNBA history to post a triple-double<\/strong><\/a>, finishing just one rebound shy in a recent contest.<\/p>\n

Reese was recently named the WNBA Rookie of the Month<\/strong><\/a> for June, while she extended a WNBA record of consecutive double-doubles<\/strong><\/a> to 11 games on Tuesday night. Reese was in tears at her All-Star selection<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The others in the top five of the WNBA All-Star fan voting are all big names in the sport. Former South Carolina<\/strong><\/a> stars Aliyah Boston and A\u2019ja Wilson are two of the best bigs in the game, so it\u2019s no surprise to see their inclusion.<\/p>\n

And former UConn<\/strong><\/a> star Breanna Stewart has also carried a large following with her from her college days.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, all five will feel honored to be among this year\u2019s fan favorites.<\/p>\n
