It wasn’t just a snub.
It wasn’t just about missing the cut.
This time, Angel Reese watched the entire Indiana Fever starting unit leapfrog her—and she’s not staying silent anymore.
After the latest WNBA All-Star voting update showed Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston, NaLyssa Smith, and Kelsey Mitchell all landing among the Top 10 vote-getters, Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese took to social media with a reaction fans are calling “pure fire, frustration, and defiance.”
“Y’all really showing your hand now. Loud and clear,” Reese wrote on X.
“Keep sleeping. I’m wide awake.”
The message was clear.
The tone was personal.
And the internet exploded.
The Numbers: Fever Dominate, Reese Nowhere in Sight
According to the most recent WNBA All-Star fan voting results:
Caitlin Clark – #1 overall
Aliyah Boston – #4
NaLyssa Smith – #7
Kelsey Mitchell – #10
Angel Reese – dropped to #15, behind players with lower minutes and impact
For the Fever—once the worst team in the league—it’s a validation.
For Reese—who entered the league with enormous hype and national attention—it’s a gut punch.
The Fallout: “This Is Personal Now”
Within minutes of the voting drop, Reese reposted fan comments accusing the league and media of favoring Indiana and manipulating public perception.
She also added:
“Being unapologetically Black, loud, and confident = disqualified.
But I’m not changing.”
That line—“I’m not changing”—has since been quoted over 100,000 times across X and Instagram, turning a simple voting update into a cultural and racial flashpoint within the WNBA.
Fans Split: “She’s Right” vs. “She’s Rattled”

…all trended nationally.
“There’s no way 4 Fever players are All-Stars and Angel isn’t even Top 10,” one fan posted.
“This ain’t about stats. It’s about narratives,” another wrote.
But others pushed back:
“Clark and Boston are winning games. Angel is winning arguments on X,” said one viral tweet.
“Fever fans vote. Sky fans complain. That’s the difference,” another read.
