The WNBA’s decision to hold its 2025 All-Star Game in Indianapolis may have been influenced by the Caitlin Clark effect.
According to ESPN’s Alexa Philippou, the All-Star festivities will take place at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, the home arena of the Indiana Fever where Clark plays.
Clark’s impact on the WNBA has been significant since she joined the league earlier this year, making Indianapolis a fitting location for the event.
While Indianapolis is already a great destination for the All-Star Game, Clark’s popularity with fans likely played a role in bringing the event to the Fever’s home court.
Having earned a spot on Team WNBA in her rookie season, it’s expected that Clark will represent the home crowd in next year’s All-Star Game, barring any health issues.
