# 2015 WNBA All-Star Game

The 2015 WNBA All-Star Game is an exhibition basketball game. It was played on July 25, 2015. The Connecticut Sun hosted a WNBA All-Star Game for the fourth time. The Sun previously hosted the game in 2005, 2009, and 2013.
Starters for the game were selected by fan voting. Fans were able to select three frontcourt players and two guards. Elena Delle Donne of the Chicago Sky led voting with 18,034 votes. Maya Moore won the MVP of the All-Star game and led the Western Conference to a 117–112 victory over the Eastern Conference.

## Coaches

Coaches were determined by the previous year's conference championships. Sandy Brondello, coach of the defending WNBA and West champion Phoenix Mercury coached the Western Conference, while Pokey Chatman, coach of the defending East champion Chicago Sky, coached the East. It was the first time coaching the All-Star Game for both coaches.
