What happened: The WNBA has announced the 10 starters for the 2026 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game: Aliyah Boston, Paige Bueckers, Caitlin Clark, Natasha Howard, Olivia Miles, Kelsey Mitchell, Jessica Shepard, Breanna Stewart, Gabby Williams and A'ja Wilson. The Indiana Fever placed three players in the starting group with Boston, Clark and Mitchell all earning nods. Paige Bueckers headlines the group as a repeat starter.

Why it matters: Landing three starters underscores Indiana's rising national profile after a sustained fan-voting campaign, including a weeks-long push to vote Aliyah Boston into the game. The heavy Fever presence has already drawn pushback that fan voting rewards popularity over standings, given Indiana's current seeding. For veterans like Breanna Stewart, Natasha Howard and A'ja Wilson, the selections reinforce their place among the league's established stars.

By the numbers: Announced starters (10): Aliyah Boston, Paige Bueckers, Caitlin Clark, Natasha Howard, Olivia Miles, Kelsey Mitchell, Jessica Shepard, Breanna Stewart, Gabby Williams, A'ja Wilson. Indiana Fever selections: 3 (Boston, Clark, Mitchell).

What to watch: Reserves, selected by the coaches, are still to come, followed by the captains' draft and roster formation ahead of the 2026 All-Star Game.
