The first round of WNBA All-Star fan voting is in, and the Washington Mystics have something to celebrate. Rookie forward Kiki Iriafen came in at No. 10 overall among frontcourt players, a stunning debut for the first-year standout who has quickly become a key contributor for D.C. She earned over 213,000 votes—putting her ahead of established veterans and solidifying her early case for an All-Star selection.
But Iriafen isn’t the only Mystic earning fan attention. Teammates Brittney Sykes (28th) and rookie Sonia Citron (35th) also cracked the top 40 in total votes. Sykes, one of the league’s premier perimeter defenders, continues to draw praise for her leadership on both ends of the floor.
