Furthermore, Los Angeles Sparks' star guard Kelsey Plum — slotted sixth by both the fans and media — ranked 16th in the player vote, another surprise to many. In similar fashion to Clark, Plum's low rank spurred a plethora of online reactions.

The Indiana Fever secured a ticket to the WNBA Commissioner's Cup final after going 4-1 against their Eastern Conference opponents. They edged out the New York Liberty, who also finished with a 4-1 record but lost the tiebreaker due to their defeat against Indiana in Cup play.

Caitlin Clark mania continues to grow among basketball fans, but other WNBA players remain unimpressed. Clark received a record 1,293,536 fan votes for this year’s All-Star game in Indianapolis, but she ranked just ninth among guards in the player vote.
