DURHAM, N.C. – Starting Wednesday, June 16, fans have a chance to ensure Duke alumnae are amongst the premier competition in the 2021 WNBA All-Star Game. Want to see former Blue Devil graduates in action? Vote each and every day to help our six current professionals represent their current squad as well as their alma mater.
The voting will take place through June 27, 2021.
To ensure the Blue Devils are well-represented, vote for these Duke alumnae – Lexie Brown (Chicago),
Haley Gorecki (Phoenix), Chelsea Gray (Las Vegas),
Leaonna Odom (New York), Jasmine Thomas (Connecticut) and Elizabeth Williams (Atlanta).
The 2021 WNBA All-Star game will take place July 14 at Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. The 17th WNBA All-Star Game will be broadcast live by ESPN at 7 p.m. ET.
Fans can vote for up to 10 (four backcourt players and six front court players) of the WNBA's top stars at WNBA.com/vote and the WNBA App. All current WNBA players will be eligible for selection. Two "2-for-1 Days" will allow fans to have their votes count twice on Sunday, June 20 and Sunday, June 27 through WNBA.com/vote and the WNBA App voting platforms. All "2-for-1 Days" will be designated from midnight ET – 11:59 p.m. ET.
The selection of the All-Stars will be conducted through a combination of voting by fans (50 percent of the vote), current WNBA players (25 percent) and a national panel of sportswriters and broadcasters (25 percent). The AT&T WNBA All-Star 2021 rosters will be announced on Wednesday, June 30.
The top 36 vote-getters (which will comprise at least 9 backcourt 15 frontcourt players) from that voting process who are not members of the USA Basketball 5x5 roster, will then be provided to WNBA head coaches who will determine from that list, the 12 players who will play for the Team WNBA All-Stars versus the USA Basketball Women's National Team. Coaches will not be able to vote for their own players.
