Caitlin Clark Shares Indiana Fever Plan for WNBA All-Star Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
As the city prepares for its first-ever WNBA All-Star weekend, Indiana Fever fans and media alike turned their attention to what has become Sunday’s most talked‑about storyline: Caitlin Clark’s selection as a 2025 WNBA All-Star captain.

Clark’s captaincy nod comes after she secured 1,293,526 fan votes (the most in the league), earning her first role as an All-Star captain and her second consecutive All-Star selection.
During Sunday’s media session, a reporter asked Clark how meaningful the honor was for someone “still so new to the league.”
“Yeah, obviously it’s cool,” Clark replied. “It’s cool that fans get to be a part of it and have a little impact on the game. I think also it’s going to be really special to be able to do it here in this city.
“I think there’s already been so much time and effort put in by so many people that you know, aren’t going to get credit for what they did to bring All-Star here… You know, trying to make it the best All-Star the WNBA has ever had.”

As All-Star captains, Clark and Collier will draft their respective rosters, choosing from the remaining eight starters and 12 reserves, which will be revealed on Sunday.
“I know we’ll certainly do that… I’m going to try to get my teammates on my team. Why wouldn’t I? That’s obviously the goal,” Clark said.
The Fever have split their first 16 games, entering the weekend with an 8-8 record – good for third place in the Eastern Conference.
Despite Clark missing seven games this season—including the previous two with a left groin strain—the team has rallied for some notable wins. Just last week, Indiana beat the Seattle Storm and Dallas Wings on the road, missing Clark against the Wings.

These results have set the stage for a hometown All-Star event that Fever fans have eagerly awaited since Indianapolis was announced as host in August last year.
