Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever announced on July 17 that she would not participate in the All-Star Game or the 3-Point Contest due to a right groin injury she suffered earlier in the week.
The 2025 WNBA season is shaping up to be one of the best yet. It’s Year 2 of Caitlin Clark in Indiana, the Minnesota Lynx are the best team in the league, and UConn star Paige Bueckers is playing pro ball for the Dallas Wings. The league will continue its momentum with the WNBA All-Star Game, which will feature 24 of the league’s best players facing off on the court.
