WNBA All-Star is coming up. Here's how to vote for your favorite players
INDIANAPOLIS — WNBA All-Star weekend is just over a month away, and Indianapolis is deep in preparations to host the game. Starting Thursday, fans will have a big part in deciding who will take the court at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on July 19. Fan voting for WNBA All-Star runs from June 12 to 28, and the All-Stars will be announced in early July. Advertisement Here's how voting for All-Star works. How are WNBA All-Stars decided? The WNBA selects All-Stars from a combination of fan, player, media and coach voting. Fans account for 50% of the initial vote, while player and media selections account for 25% each. The league will then combine all of those scores, and the four frontcourt players and six guards with the top combined votes will become the All-Star starters. The coaches will then vote to select the 12 total reserves. They are required to vote for three guards and five frontcourt players, then can vote for four players regardless of position. They cannot vote for players on their own team. Advertisement Relive Caitlin Clark's rookie season with our collector's book The 22 All-Stars will be selected regardless of conference affiliation, and the All-Star game will not be played as a competition between conferences. How will the All-Star Game work? The 2024 season saw 12 All-Stars, selected similarly to the 2025 process, play Team USA before they headed off to the Paris Olympics. This season will mark the return to two full All-Star teams. The two All-Star starters that have the most fan votes will become the two captains, and they will be part of a draft to pick their respective teams. They will first pick from the remaining pool of eight starters, then from the 12 reserves. ESPN will broadcast the results of the draft during an edition of WNBA Countdown at 7 p.m. July 8. Advertisement The coaches for the teams will be determined by the two coaches in the league that have the best record through July 4. The coach with the best overall record will be paired with the captain that has the most fan votes. How do I vote for Fever players for WNBA All-Star? Fans can submit one full ballot of up to 10 players per day, starting June 12 and ending June 28. All active WNBA players on rosters will be able to receive votes. Fans can vote through or the WNBA App. There are three 2-for-1 days on June 14, 20, and 27, when fans' one ballot will count twice. 'So far so good': 2 weeks after ankle injury, Fever's Sophie Cunningham hoping to be cleared Where is the WNBA All-Star Game? The WNBA All-Star weekend is in Indianapolis for the first time in league history. Advertisement It will be the second straight year that the city has hosted an All-Star weekend, though, as the NBA came to Indianapolis in February 2024. What Fever players have been All-Stars? Five players on Indiana's roster have been All-Stars at least once, whether it be with the Fever or on another team. DeWanna Bonner, a 15-year veteran of the league who is in her first season with the Fever, has been an All-Star six times: three with the Phoenix Mercury (2015, 2018-19) and three with the Connecticut Sun (2021, 2023-24). Natasha Howard has been an All-Star twice: 2019 with the Seattle Storm and 2022 with the New York Liberty. Advertisement Both Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston have two All-Star appearances in their career, both in 2023 and 2024 with the Fever. Boston was an All-Star starter as a rookie in 2023. Caitlin Clark started the All-Star game as a rookie in 2024, and she has one All-Star selection so far in her young career. Chloe Peterson is the Indiana Fever beat reporter for IndyStar.

After 3 weeks out, Caitlin Clark cleared to play Saturday vs. Liberty: 'Antsy to get out there'
INDIANAPOLIS – Barring any late regression, Caitlin Clark has been cleared for Saturday's game against the New York Liberty, Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White said Friday. "I felt like today was better than yesterday in terms of just, you know, movement and balance and feeling like she's getting back into rhythm, timing, all of those things," White said. "And, you know, as long as we don't have any regression, she's gonna be ready to roll." Advertisement Clark has been out for about three weeks after suffering a quad strain May 24 against the Liberty. She reported pain after that game, which the Fever lost, 90-88, and got an MRI that diagnosed the strain. WNBA All-Star Game is coming up. Here's how to vote for your favorite players She was then shut down for at least two weeks for the first time in her collegiate and professional career. She played all 139 games of her college career and the first 46 games of her professional career with the Fever, dating back to 2020. During those two weeks, Clark saw the game from a different perspective. She sat directly next to the coaching staff during games, listening to their conversations and helping to take down notes. Advertisement She also did "anything under the sun" in terms of rehabilitation on her quad, trying to make sure she could get back as fast as possible. "A lot of needling," Clark started. "When you do treatment in rehab, you're still lifting. You're almost lifting heavier than probably what I was, what I would be doing on a day like today preparing for a game. Just trying to strengthen my muscles, my left leg and my right leg, literally anything I tried it. Red light therapy, hyperbaric oxygen chamber, like we do it all. And the same goes, even when I'm feeling healthy, like it's a big part of it, massages, everything." Clark missed four games before she was officially re-evaluated following Indiana's win over Chicago on June 7. Indiana went 2-2 in that span, dropping the first two games to the Mystics and Sun, then beating the Mystics and the Sky with the help of hardship player Aari McDonald. Clark got more imaging done on her quad to compare to when she was injured, making sure she was recovering as scheduled and her quad was healed enough to play. Advertisement "There was imaging done to tell that my leg is okay," Clark said. "We're not guessing. We're not going off of feeling. So I can find confidence in that, that, you know, we weren't able to find anything or see anything, and that was kind of my all-clear. I knew I was feeling really good. So that wasn't a surprise by any means that it looked that way when we saw, when we had the imaging done." Clark started practice again on June 9. She still missed Indiana's game at Atlanta on June 10, but that was part of her ramp-up period to get back into game shape, getting back into the rhythm and the intricacies of the game. "It's definitely been a process," Clark said. "I think the hardest part is when you, like, get to feel really good, and it's just a process of, like, working yourself back into actually getting up and down and getting out there with my teammates... I'm super, super excited, antsy to get out there, probably shake off a little bit of rust." Ramping up to game speed, in general, is a new experience for her, too. She's never had an injury that has kept her out multiple weeks in-season, thus has never had to get back into game shape quickly after that injury. Advertisement But she knew she needed to take it slow; trying to return too early could've led to multiple issues, including a re-aggravation of the quad strain or some other injury if she wasn't totally in shape. "I think it's just like, having the mindset of, you know, I don't need to make up for lost time," Clark said. "Just being patient and getting back into the flow of things, getting back into the flow of playing with my team." Of course, Clark's return means McDonald, who signed with the Fever on a hardship contract on June 1, was cut. To comply with WNBA collective bargaining rules, McDonald's contract will be automatically terminated once the Fever reach 10 game-available players on their roster.

'No wrongdoing': Cincinnati Reds pitcher Wade Miley responds to Tyler Skaggs drug report
DETROIT – Cincinnati Reds pitcher Wade Miley said he engaged in 'no wrongdoing' in response Friday to a published report revealing court documents alleging he gave the late Tyler Skaggs prescription medicine more than a decade ago when they were teammates in Arizona. Skaggs, the former Angels pitcher, died at 27 of a drug overdose during a team road trip in 2019. A former team official is currently serving a prison sentence for his involvement in providing drugs to Skaggs. Advertisement Thursday's report in The Athletic included contents of a deposition from Skaggs' former agent in which the agent testified Skaggs had told him he sometimes received prescription drugs from Miley. Wade Miley said he did not engage in "any wrongdoing" in regards to former teammate Tyler Skaggs. The deposition is part of a wrongful death civil suit against the Angels filed by the Skaggs family. Reds injuries Hunter Greene Cincinnati Reds ace Hunter Greene receives 'good' news on groin, epidural for back Reds MLB All-Star Game TJ Friedl Cincinnati Reds All-Star Candidate Power Rankings: See how high red-hot TJ Friedl jumps 'I hate what happened to Tyler. It sucks. My thoughts are with his family and his friends,' Miley said during a media session Friday at his locker in Detroit that lasted less than a minute and a half. 'But I'm not going to sit here and talk about things that somebody might have said about me or what-not. Advertisement 'I was never a witness for any of this. I was never accused of any wrongdoing. And I'm not going to sit here and and talk about something …. I'll take baseball questions. That's about it.' He declined to directly answer a question about whether the testimony was true. He said he didn't expect the report to be a distraction as he heads into his second start for the Reds on Sunday. And when asked whether anybody from MLB has contacted him about the issue he said, 'I'd rather just focus on the Cincinnati Reds right now and baseball. And what I have to do moving forward. I have to get ready for a game on Sunday.' Advertisement And when asked a followup regarding any potential MLB process: 'I said what I said about the thing,' he said. 'There's no wrongdoing. It is what it is.' Reds officials say there's no action warranted or planned by the team. Miley and Skaggs were Diamondbacks teammates in 2012 and 2013. Reds manager Terry Francona said he found out about the report 'when everybody else' did. 'From where I sit, other than me caring about Miley and certainly having respect for the sadness of the family, there's nothing for me to say,' Francona said. 'I don't know anything about it. I don't think commenting makes a whole lot of sense.' This article originally appeared on Cincinnati Enquirer: Cincinnati Reds' Wade Miley responds to reported Tyler Skaggs drug link
