Collier received 1,176,020 fan votes, while Clark received 1,293,526. When the NBA free agency special airs on ESPN Monday at 7 p.m. ET, the remaining eight starters—as determined by fans (50%), players (25%), and the media (25%).

Clark said: “It’s cool that fans get to be a part of it and have a little impact on the game,” “It’s going to be special to do it here in this city. … Trying to make it the best All-Star that the WNBA has ever had. It’s certainly a cool honor.”

“Obviously I’m going to try and get my teammates on my team, that’s the goal,”. “Once they come out with whoever has made it and whoever hasn’t, I’ll get to pick and choose. I don’t know how it works.”

In Clark’s second season in the WNBA, it is her second All-Star selection. Collier, who was selected in the 2019 draft, is the fifth All-Star selection overall.
