INDIANAPOLIS — The 2025 WNBA All-Star Game has a lot to live up to. Last year, the WNBA All-Stars beat the U.S. national team 117-109 in Phoenix, a matchup that helped prepare the Americans for their run to an eighth consecutive Olympic gold medal.
The stakes aren’t quite as high Saturday (8:30 p.m. ET, ABC) but pride is still on the line as Team Caitlin Clark meets Team Napheesa Collier. Clark, the Indiana Fever guard, is one of three players who will miss the game due to injuries, along with Atlanta Dream’s Rhyne Howard and the Phoenix Mercury’s Satou Sabally.
Instead, Clark, the leading vote-getter in fan balloting, will be helping New York Liberty coach Sandy Brondello guide her team. One of Clark’s Fever teammates, All-Star Aliyah Boston, joked Friday that she hopes Clark will draw up a couple of plays geared toward her.
Minnesota’s Cheryl Reeve is coaching Team Collier after leading the national team last year.
