There's 1 major WNBA All-Star snub this season

There's 1 major WNBA All-Star snub this season highlights Kayla McBride’s absence from the All-Star roster despite strong production with the Minnesota Lynx. McBride, a top-10 scorer, averages 18.2 points and shoots 39.8% from three, while also playing a notable defensive role. Although she had been named an All-Star five times before, including the previous two seasons with Minnesota, the Lynx sent Natasha Howard, Olivia Miles, and Courtney Williams as All-Star selections, leaving McBride out of the reserves. The article notes she was also passed over when the league could have used an injury reserve spot on Wednesday. Her recent scoring surge included being the Lynx’s leading scorer for eight straight games from July 3 to July 20, along with Western Conference Player of the Week honors. With All-Star voting closing earlier than her peak stretch, and coaches selecting reserves afterward, the piece frames her omission as the most notable snub. It also cites the All-Star reserve replacement after Kelsey Plum’s injury as Kahleah Copper.
