Fan vote returns for the 2024 WNBA All-Star Game have been revealed.
Voting for this year's All-Star Game opened on June 13 and will continue through Saturday, June 29 at 11:59 p.m. ET, granting fans the opportunity to have a say in who will represent the WNBA's All-Stars in this year's game. As 2024 is an Olympic year, the WNBA All-Stars will go against the United States women's Olympic 5x5 team.
The fan vote accounts for 50 percent of the vote to determine starters in the All-Star Game. The other 50 percent will be split by current WNBA players and a national panel of sportswriters and broadcasters.
After the initial voting period, the top 10 vote-getters will automatically be named to participate in the 2024 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game. Any top 10 vote-getter who has not already been named to Team USA's Olympic 5x5 squad will automatically be assigned to Team WNBA.
Here's everything you need to know about WNBA All-Star Game voting and its returns.

A'ja Wilson slightly edges Caitlin Clark as leading vote-getter
There are tight races and there is the race to be the leading vote-getter: Wilson and Clark are neck-and-neck through one week of voting.
Wilson, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year and Finals MVP, is leading the way with 217,773 votes but has an advantage of fewer than 2,000 votes as Clark comes in second with 216,427 votes.
Wilson's averages of 27.9 points and 11.3 rebounds put her on pace to make WNBA history, as the current record for single-season scoring average is 25.3 points per game, set by Diana Taurasi in 2006.
Clark is starting her career off with averages of 16.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game, building a great case to win Rookie of the Year in the process.
