Frisco, Texas — The Dallas Wings' upward trajectory hit a national milestone Thursday as Paige Bueckers and Jessica Shepard were unveiled as starters for the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game, with Bueckers topping all fan voting league-wide.
Bueckers amassed 1,045,051 fan votes — the most of any WNBA player this season — to secure her second consecutive All-Star start. Shepard, a steady sixth-year forward, earned her first All-Star nod after a first-half stretch that solidified her as one of the league's most improved frontcourt players.
Rookie Azzi Fudd's fourth-place finish among guards in fan voting further underscored how thoroughly the Wings have captured national attention. A year after missing the playoffs, the franchise now boasts the league's most visible young core, with Bueckers and Fudd forming one of basketball's most talked-about backcourts.
