Voting Ballot for 2025 WNBA All-Star Game
The 2025 WNBA All-Star Game will be hosted in Indianapolis this summer. Breaking down the 10 votes I submitted for the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game.
The selection of All-Star starters is conducted through a combination of voting by fans (50 percent of the vote), current WNBA players (25 percent) and a national panel of sportswriters and broadcasters (25 percent). Separately, once the starters are known, the WNBA’s head coaches will vote to determine the All-Star Reserves.
This year is my third season as a WNBA media voter and I believe in transparency, these are the 10 votes I submitted to the league.
