Early returns from the 2026 WNBA All-Star fan voting show Caitlin Clark is trailing several players, a notable change from her position a year earlier. The league releases the first results on Wednesday, and multiple outlets report that Clark is not currently among the top three vote-getters. Yahoo Sports reports that Clark is lower than expected in the initial fan vote counts, despite her status as a prominent league figure and a major attraction since her rookie season. One Yahoo Sports piece also frames the situation as a potential concern related to how fan voting can work, citing analysis that suggests Clark’s current standing reflects broader voting dynamics rather than on-court performance alone. Newsweek and The Athletic likewise describe the early drop-off in support relative to expectations, referencing Clark’s visibility and previous leadership in voting. The Athletic presents the development as part of its broader WNBA offseason coverage, while still focusing on the early voting reality. Further updates will depend on later vote returns, but the early leaderboard currently places Clark behind multiple stars.
