Captain Caitlin Clark: Fever guard leads WNBA All-Star voting for second year in a row
The All-Star Game is coming to Indianapolis for the first time (July 19), and Caitlin Clark will help headline it as captain after leading all players in fan votes — again.
Caitlin Clark was voted to the 2025 WNBA All-Star game.
And for the second consecutive season, she received the most votes.
The Indiana Fever guard received 1,293,526 votes to lead all players — and thus be named one of two captains for the annual event. Minnesota’s Napheesa Collier was second (1,176,020) and will be the other captain.
Voting for starters combined input from fans (50%), players (25%), and media (25%).
This year’s All-Star Game will be held in Indianapolis at Gainbridge Fieldhouse for the first time. Tipoff is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, July 19, and the game will be broadcast nationally on ABC and streamed on ESPN+ and Disney+.
“It’s cool,” Clark said after practice on Sunday afternoon. “And it's cool that fans get to be a part of it and have a little impact on the game.
“It's going to be really special to be able to do it here in this city. And I think there's already been so much time and effort put in by so many people that aren't going to get credit for what they did to bring All-Star here. So trying to make it the best All-Star the WNBA has ever had. I know we'll certainly do that, but also it is certainly a cool honor for sure.”
Fever head coach Stephanie White, who is an Indiana native, is also exited to see Indy put on a show — just like it did for NBA All-Star Weekend 17 months ago.
“It's going to be nuts,” she said. “You saw it with the NBA and the ability for fans to show up and show out. But, certainly, Caitlin being able to be a captain, she's going to put on her GM hat. We'll see how that works right there for her. But I think just what an outstanding opportunity for our city to show up, to show love to the players in the WNBA and embrace what we love and that's basketball.”
It’s now Captain Clark — since she’ll help draft the All-Star rosters.
