Plano, Texas — Dallas Wings stars Paige Bueckers and Jessica Shepard were named Thursday as starters for the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game, with Bueckers finishing first in fan voting across the entire league.
The 1,045,051 fan votes collected by Bueckers represent the highest total of any player this season and secure her second All-Star start in as many years. Shepard's selection — her first in six professional seasons — reflects a career-best stretch that has made her indispensable to the Wings' interior attack.
Adding to the franchise's national profile, rookie Azzi Fudd polled fourth among guards despite being in her first year. The trio's combined fan support speaks to how dramatically the Wings' perception has shifted from a year ago, when the team struggled to a non-playoff finish.
