PHILADELPHIA- Log on to www.wnba.com and help make Temple's own Candice Dupree a WNBA All-Star for the second straight season. Click on the All-Star Balloting section and help make the Chicago Sky forward one of the Eastern Conference's starting five. Fans can vote once a day.
Dupree is having a breakout sophomore season, capturing the league's Eastern Conference Player of the Week honor on June 18. She is currently ranked third in the league in blocks and points and has been the Sky's top scorer in nine out of 12 games. She leads the squad in points (19.2), rebounds (8.2) and blocked shots (1.67) per game.
The Tampa, Fla. native helped the East to its first-ever All-Star victory last season.
The WNBA All-Star game will be hosted by the Washington Mystics at the Verizon Center on Sunday, July 15 and will be televised nationally on ABC at 3:30 p.m.
Starters for the game will be determined by fan balloting, which began on May 22 and runs through June 24 in WNBA arenas, online and through a variety of other outlets. Starting line-ups for both the Western and Eastern Conferences will be announced on Tuesday, July 3. Reserve players will subsequently be selected by the WNBA's head coaches and announced by the league on Tuesday, July 10.
