Women’s All-Star vote altered

The women’s NBA is changing its All-Star voting format and will allow players and media to join fans in the selection process for the starters.

The fan vote will count for 50 percent while current players and a media panel will account for 25 percent each. The change mirrors the NBA All-Star selection process that was put in place this past season.

“I’m curious to see how it’s going to work out,” said Dallas guard Skylar Diggins-Smith. “It’s exciting to give players a voice. We face that competition night in and night out.”
