Selection
On March 20, the WNBA announced that 2024 would feature a matchup between the WNBA All-Stars who make up the US Women's National Team versus the remaining WNBA All-Stars. Fans, WNBA players, head coaches, sports writers, and broadcasters would all be able to vote for All Stars. All groups could fill out a ballot of four guards and six front court players. Players and coaches could not vote for members of their own team. Voting will begin on Thursday, June 13 at 2 p.m. ET and will conclude on Saturday, June 29 at 11:59 p.m. ET.[1]
The voting was weighted as follows:
| Voting group | Vote weight |
|---|---|
| Fans | 50% |
| WNBA players | 25% |
| Sports media | 25% |
Players were not allowed to vote for their own teammates. The top 10 players receiving votes based on this weighting would be selected to the All-Star Game. Any top 10 vote-getter who has not already been named to the USA Women’s National Team 5-on-5 roster will automatically be assigned to Team WNBA. The names of the next 36 highest vote-getters, consisting of at least 9 backcourt and 15 frontcourt players, will then be provided to the 12 WNBA head coaches, who will vote to fill the remaining spots for the 12-player Team WNBA roster. Coaches will not be able to vote for their own players.
