Caitlin Clark, Napheesa Collier Named 2025 WNBA All-Star Game Captains

The selection of Caitlin Clark and Napheesa Collier as All-Star captains highlights the significance of fan engagement in the WNBA. Clark's immense popularity, reflected in her leading vote count, underscores her impact on the league's visibility. However, the voting process also sparked controversy, with Dick Vitale suggesting that some WNBA players voted with jealousy, potentially underrating Clark's contributions.

The All-Star starters were determined through a combination of fan, player, and media votes, ensuring a balanced representation. The remaining All-Star reserves will be chosen by the league's head coaches. The captains will then draft their teams from the pool of starters and reserves during a live broadcast.

This year's All-Star Game promises exciting events, including the 3-point contest and skills challenge, showcasing the league's top talent. The game and surrounding festivities provide a platform to celebrate the WNBA's growth and the contributions of its star players.

Starters were selected based on a combination of fan voting (50%), player voting (25%), and media voting (25%).

The league’s head coaches select the 12 reserves, voting for three guards, five frontcourt players, and four players at either position.

The game is on July 19 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
