WNBA Players Clearly Snubbed Caitlin Clark With All-Star Game Voting

For the third straight year since joining the WNBA, Caitlin Clark is an All-Star. But some of the voting has become public and there was a pretty clear effort by one group to snub her entirely.

A graphic of the fan, media and player rank voting for the WNBA All-Star selections has been released. Among the guards, Paige Bueckers came in first, boasting the No. 1 fan rank, the No. 2 media rank and the No. 1 player rank in voting. Olivia Miles came in second, having ranked top-five in all three categories and No. 1 in the media voting.

As for Clark, while she secured second-place in the fan voting and third-place in the media voting, the player voting had her ranked 11th. For context, she received fewer votes among her WNBA peers than Marina Mabrey, Sonia Citron, Allisha Gray, Rhyne Howard and her Indiana Fever teammate Kelsey Mitchell.

Even though she finished outside the top-10 for player voting, Clark's weighted score of 4.5 still gave her the third-highest overall ranking of any WNBA guard. Only two guards and four frontcourt players had a better weighted score.

Backlash

As you might expect, plenty of WNBA fans were outraged that the players ranked Clark so low. A few others were shocked to see that Clark didn't get the most fan votes either.

"If this is true, that explains everything. The WNBA players don’t even have enough respect for the game to vote outside their own pettiness. I’m having a hard time believing this is real because its implications would be truly pathetic," one user wrote on X.

"11th best guard in the league being double-teamed at 94 ft. Yeah, that makes sense," wrote another.

"I wanna recount lol. We need to recount all the ballots I call (expletive). Somebody came in with a pile of Maryland ballots at the last second there’s no (expletive) way Paige Bueckers got more fan votes and Caitlin Clark," a third remarked.

"If the players rank CC at 11, why is she the only one guarded for 94 feet every possession?"

"Clark ranked 11 by the players LMAO why do they hate their Savior so much?"

It's a question we may never get the answer to.
