Caitlin Clark was named to the All-WNBA First Team on Wednesday as the league released its final vote tallies. While the honor was well-deserved, some were left puzzled by yet another potential snub.
Clark received 52 out of a possible 67 first-team votes, with 14 voters selecting her for the second team. In a surprising twist, one voter left Clark off their ballot entirely, raising questions about the omission. The confusion only deepened when fans recalled that Clark was also denied a unanimous Rookie of the Year award, falling short by just one vote.
As the Indiana Fever’s starting point guard for all 40 regular-season games, Clark’s stats painted a compelling case for top honors.
She averaged 19.2 points per game, led the league in assists with 8.4 per game, and knocked down 122 three-pointers, further cementing her as a dominant force on the court.

Statistically, her performance made her a clear candidate for All-WNBA recognition, yet it appears that at least one voter may have consistently registered a form of protest.
The WNBA does not release individual ballots, leaving the identity of the voter—and whether the same person omitted Clark in both instances—a mystery.
Some fans and analysts have called for greater transparency in the voting process, arguing that making ballots public would help clarify such omissions.
Until the anonymous voter decides to step forward, Clark’s curious snub will continue to raise eyebrows across the league.
