Little Elm, Texas — Rookie guard Azzi Fudd also finished fourth among guards in fan balloting, reflecting the breadth of national enthusiasm around a Wings franchise that missed the playoffs a year ago before drafting Bueckers No. 1 overall.

The 2026 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game is set for July 25 in Chicago. Bueckers and Shepard become the first pair of Wings teammates to start an All-Star Game together since the franchise relocated to North Texas.

Bueckers collected 1,045,051 fan votes — the most of any WNBA player this season — to earn her second consecutive All-Star start. Shepard, in her sixth year, received her first All-Star selection after a first-half stretch that established her as one of the league's most improved forwards.

Little Elm residents, with easy access to the tollway corridor, are never far from the DFW sports pulse when major storylines develop.
