All-Star Wings: Bueckers Leads Fan Vote, Shepard Joins as First-Time Starter

Sherman, Texas — Bueckers collected 1,045,051 fan votes — the most of any WNBA player this season — to earn her second consecutive All-Star start. Shepard, in her sixth year, received her first All-Star selection after a first-half stretch that established her as one of the league's most improved forwards.

Rookie guard Azzi Fudd also finished fourth among guards in fan balloting, reflecting the breadth of national enthusiasm around a Wings franchise that missed the playoffs a year ago before drafting Bueckers No. 1 overall.

The 2026 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game is set for July 25 in Chicago. Bueckers and Shepard become the first pair of Wings teammates to start an All-Star Game together since the franchise relocated to North Texas.

Sherman, the largest city in Grayson County, sits at the northern edge of the DFW sports market but follows the region's pro teams closely.
