If 4-pointers and in-play substitutions are the future of basketball, just remember that you saw them here first. We're all reeling from Caitlin Clark's injury-enforced withdrawal, but the quartet of radical rule changes set to shake the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game up guarantee to make it an event to remember regardless.
Here's how to watch WNBA All-Star Game live streams from anywhere with a VPN.
The WNBA All-Star Game live stream takes place on Saturday, July 19.► Time: 8:30 p.m. ET / 5:30 p.m. PT / 1:30 a.m. BST (Sun.) / 10:30 a.m. AEST (Sun.)• U.S. — ABC via Sling TV / ESPN Plus• U.K. — TNT Sports / Discovery Plus• AUS — Kayo Sports (7-day free trial)• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk-free
The team will still play under the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year's name — at the time of writing, a replacement captain is yet to be announced — against Napheesa Collier's selection, and the Lynx power forward's team have to be considered favorites, and not just because of the disruption suffered by Team Clark.
Cheryl Reeve, Collier's coach in Minnesota, was originally supposed to take charge of team Clark. However, Clark and Collier decided to swap Reeve and Sandy Brondello around. What was Clark thinking?
Back to those rule changes. Two pairs of circles positioned 28 feet from each basket are the designated 4-point zones, while the in-play subs could cause absolute havoc. And that's not all. The shot clock has been shortened to 20 seconds, and there will be no free throws during the first 38 minutes
