The 2025 All-Star Game is set for Saturday, July 19, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis—home of the Indiana Fever—and will air live on ABC at 8:30 p.m. ET. Clark is averaging 19.9 points and 8.7 assists per game, both career highs. Collier, meanwhile, is having an MVP-caliber season, leading the league in scoring with 24.4 points per game and ranking sixth in rebounds with 8.5 boards. She has guided the Lynx to a league-best 11–1 record.
“Collier has made a significant impact in every game this season,” wrote Will Ragatz of Microsoft Network (MSN), noting her consistent dominance on both ends of the floor.
This year’s All-Star format features players from all teams, regardless of conference. Fan voting accounts for 50% of the total, while current players and a panel of media members contribute 25% each. The top four guards and six frontcourt players with the highest weighted scores will be named All-Star starters.
Once starters are determined, WNBA head coaches will select 12 reserves—three guards, five frontcourt players, and four at either position. Coaches cannot vote for their own players. As reported by Noa Dalzell of SB Nation, these selections will round out the 22-player roster. Clark, who made her All-Star debut as a rookie last year, is poised to serve as a captain again if she finishes among the top two vote-getters.
Collier, a four-time All-Star, is also in position to lead a team. Joining Clark and Collier in the top five are Fever forward Aliyah Boston (446,961 votes), Las Vegas Aces forward A’ja Wilson (394,600), and New York Liberty star Breanna Stewart (367,819). Wilson and Stewart previously served as All-Star captains in 2022 and 2023, with Wilson also holding the role in 2019.

“I think that my entire mindset behind this—and really doing things—is for the next generation,” Stewart told the New York Post, as quoted in a CNBC article by Ian Thomas. “And making sure that we continue to elevate this game while we’re still here playing.”
Other top vote-getters include 2025 No. 1 pick Paige Bueckers (312,920 votes), Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell (277,664), who is averaging 17.1 points per game, and Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu (234,684), the league’s sixth-leading scorer. Rounding out the top 10 are Fever sharpshooter Lexie Hull (217,438), who ranks second in three-point percentage at 56.3%, and Mystics rookie Kiki Iriafen (213,500), who ranks fourth in rebounding with 9.0 boards per game.
Once voting concludes, the two players with the highest total votes will be named All-Star captains and will draft their teams live on ESPN during a special edition of WNBA Countdown on Tuesday, July 8, at 7 p.m. ET. The 2025 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game promises a thrilling showcase of the league’s brightest stars. Fan voting remains open through WNBA.com and the WNBA App, with daily ballots accepted. Final rosters, including coach-selected reserves, will be revealed later this month.
