What happened: Angel Reese is being promoted for WNBA All-Star voting as the league's fan ballot moves toward its closing stretch. The two-time All-Star is being framed around her rebounding identity with the "Queen of the Board Room" tag.
Why it matters: Fan voting is a major part of the All-Star starter formula, with players and media also included in the final calculation. A strong late push can matter because fan votes account for half of the starter vote, and June 24 is a double-count day in the league's voting window.
By the numbers: Reese is averaging 15.1 points, 12.2 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 2026. She recently became the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 1,000 career rebounds and has 57 double-doubles through her first 75 games.
What to watch: WNBA All-Star voting closes June 27. Final returns and roster announcements will show whether Reese's late voting push translates into another All-Star spot.
