Indiana Fever Turn Heads With Caitlin Clark Announcement on Thursday

Jul 17, 2025 1:18 PM EDT

Caitlin Clark and several other WNBA stars are headed into the All-Star break.

Clark and Minnesota Lynx star Napheesa Collier previously selected their teams for the prestigious events after both were voted as team captains.

While Clark was getting ready to take the floor with some of the top players in the league, like Aliyah Boston and Sabrina Ionescu, she was ruled out of the game.

Clark has been working through a groin injury that has forced her to miss six games this season. While she’s been ruled out of the All-Star game, Clark will also be out for the three-point contest.

The Fever star issued a statement on her absence which was posted by Indiana on social media.

“I’m so excited for Indy to host WNBA All-Star this weekend,” said Clark, posted by the Indiana Fever. “I want to thank the Indianapolis Host Committee and all of the people that have put endless work in over the past year to put this event together. I know this will be the best All-Star yet.

“I am incredibly sad and disappointed to say I can’t participate in the 3-Point Contest or the All-Star Game. I have to rest my body. I will still be at Gainbridge Fieldhouse for all the action and I’m looking forward to helping Sandy coach our team to a win. Can’t wait to see you all out there!”
