WNBA announces the 2025 WNBA All-Star Starters

July 1, 2025

The two All-Star captains, Caitlin Clark and Napheesa Collier will draft their respective rosters by selecting first from the remaining eight players in the pool of starters and then from the pool of 12 reserves.

WNBA is scheduled to announce that 12 All-Star reserves on July 6, and looking at the fan voting results, I have a good idea on who the 12 All-Star reserves will be.

Here are the number of vote that each All-Star starters received;

  1. Caitlin Clark (IND) – 1,293,526
  2. Napheesa Collier (MIN) – 1,176,020
  3. Aliyah Boston (IND) – 1,174,669
  4. A’ja Wilson (LVA) – 986,662
  5. Breanna Stewart (NYL) – 972,434
  6. Paige Bueckers (DAL) – 805,471
  7. Sabrina Ionescu (NYL) – 583,428
  8. Satou Sabally (PHX) – 456,025
  9. Allisha Gray (ATL) – 441,346
  10. Nneka Ogwumike (SEA) – 398,608

These are the 2023 NBA All-Star Starters

January 27, 2023

NBA just announced the 2023 NBA All-Star Starters for the NBA All-Star Game this 19th Feb. in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Lebron James, of the LA Lakers and the leading vote-getter, will be one of the team captain and Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks and Eastern Conference voting leader, will be the team captain of the opposing team. This will be Lebron’s 19th All Star appearance and the 7th for Giannis.

Eastern Conference starters

  • Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks/ Captain)
  • Kevin Durant (Brooklyn Nets)
  • Jayson Tatum (Boston Celtics)
  • Donovan Mitchell (Cleveland Cavaliers)
  • Kyrie Irving (Brooklyn Nets)

Western Conference starters

  • LeBron James (Los Angeles Lakers/ Captain)
  • Nikola Jokic (Denver Nuggets)
  • Zion Williamson (New Orleans Pelicans)
  • Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors)
  • Luka Doncic (Dallas Mavericks)

Giannis and James will both choose the players for their respective team on the night of the game, a twist that the NBA announced last Wednesday and it is similar on how you play basketball in parks and pickup games.

The Starters — three frontcourt players and two guards from each conference — are chosen based on a combination of three different votes: fan balloting counted for 50%, media balloting was worth 25% and voting by the NBA’s players made up the final 25%.
