INDIANAPOLIS -- Indiana Fever rookie Aliyah Boston is fourth in fan voting for the WNBA All-Star game, according to early numbers from the league.

Boston has received 23,594 votes as of June 13, behind the Las Vegas Aces' A'ja Wilson, New York Liberty's Breanna Stewart and Phoenix Mercury's Brittney Griner.

Fan voting accounts for 50% of the total vote, while players and media voting will account for 25% each.

Boston, the No. 1 pick in the 2023 WNBA Draft, is one of two rookies to make the top-30 of fan voting. Her former teammate in South Carolina, Zia Cooke, is 30th with 4,584 votes.

"That would be kind of dope," Boston said of being an all-star in her rookie season. "But honestly, it's not something I'm worried about. I'm just worried about this circle and what we're doing here."

Two other Fever players made the top-30 in fan voting: Kelsey Mitchell is 24th with 6,415 votes, and NaLyssa Smith 25th with 5,951 votes.

Fan voting for the WNBA All-Star Game runs through June 21, and the starting lineups will be announced on July 8.
