Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese were among the top vote-getters as the WNBA continues its meteoric rise
WNBA All-Star voting increased by more than 600 percent from 2023 to 2024, according to the final numbers the league released on Tuesday, July 2.
Clark’s teammate on the Indiana Fever, Aliyah Boston, received the second-most votes with 618,680. A’ja Wilson, last year’s leading vote-getter, garnered 607,300 votes this year, a 533 percent increase that still dropped her two spots on the overall list. Fan voting accounted for 50 percent of the total vote, with players and media responsible for the other half.
Clark and fellow rookie Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky are among the biggest reasons for the massive increase in interest in the WNBA. Though the WNBA was on an upward trajectory before the two entered the league, their presence has shifted the organization’s growth from steady to exponential.The WNBA announced in June that viewership across ABC, ESPN, ESPN2 and CBS had tripled from last year, now averaging 1.32 million fans per game.
