A'ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart lead early fan voting for 2022 WNBA All-Star Game
The fans are getting it right.
That was quick! More than a quarter of the WNBA season is in the rearview, which means the league is just one month away from its July 10th All-Star Game, which will be held in Chicago. With that date quickly approaching, the W has released its first returns of fan voting for the game.
As expected, Las Vegas Aces’ center A’ja Wilson is the leading vote-getter after the first returns. Her 21,688 votes are the most not only of any frontcourt player but also of any player in the league this season, which is a tip of the hat to her MVP-caliber 2022 campaign.
Breanna Stewart pulled in the second-most votes (20,866), and Wilson’s Las Vegas teammate, Kelsey Plum, earned the most votes amongst guards (17,158) and the fourth-most votes overall.
Other noteworthy tallies include rookie sensation Rhyne Howard of the Atlanta Dream receiving 8,516 votes, and Brittney Griner getting 3,833 votes — a very kind gesture from the fans to the future Hall of Fame center who is still being wrongfully detained in Russia.
Fan voting is available through June 20th.
