Caitlin Clark named 2025 WNBA All-Star Game captain
captain CC 🤩Caitlin Clark is a #WNBAAllStar2025 captain and two-time All-Star. Caitlin Clark was able to add another ledger to her already impressive resume on Sunday. It was announced that Clark will be a captain at the WNBA All-Star Game, being held in Indianapolis on July 19. She joins Napheesa Collier of the Minnesota Lynx as one of two captains for the All-Star Game. The remaining eight starters will be announced on Monday, June 30 and on Tuesday, July 8, Clark and Collier will draft their All-Star rosters for the game. It's the second WNBA All-Star selection in two seasons for Clark, despite only playing in nine of the Fever's 16 games this season after dealing with multiple injuries. In those nine games, Clark is averaging 18.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 8.9 assists and 1.6 steals per game, clearly stats deserving of being an All-Star. Clark and Collier were named captains after receiving the most fan votes. Clark led all players in votes, receiving 1,293,526 fan votes with Collier a close second, receiving 1,176,020 fan votes. Clark's impact on the popularity of the WNBA is easy to see, but CBS Sports really put into perspective by comparing the number of fans voting for All-Stars before and after the arrival of Clark in the league. In 2023, the year before Clark's arrival, A'ja Wilson received the most fan votes with 95,860, and the top-30 players had a combined 1,171,708 votes -- fewer than Clark or Collier got by themselves this time around. -Jack Maloney, CBS Sports. Fans can tune in to see who Clark and Collier draft to their All-Star teams on Tuesday, July 8 at 6 p.m. on ESPN. The WNBA All-Star Game is on Saturday, July 19 at 7:30 p.m. and can be seen on ABC, Disney+ and ESPN+.
