Caitlin Clark is set to make her second career All-Star Game appearance this year and the 23-year-old guard is hoping some of her Indiana Fever teammates can come along for the ride.
The All-Star game is nearly three weeks away but the voting began over two weeks ago and the final teams will be announced after a draft takes place next week.
Clark, along with the Minnesota Lynx’s Napheesa Collier, was announced as one of the two captains, and if given the opportunity, plans to select a few Fever stars to play alongside her in the highly publicized exhibition game.
All-Star Captain Caitlin Clark Breaks Down Her Draft Approach
Clark is coming off a sensational 2024 season, where she led the league in assists and helped guide the Fever to their first playoff appearance since 2016. The Iowa native earned her first All-Star selection and was named Rookie of the Year.
Now in her sophomore season, the standout point guard continues to post impressive numbers, leading the Fever in assists (8.9) and steals (1.6), while adding 18.2 points and 5.0 rebounds per game.
Her consistent excellence over the past 18 months earned her a captain’s spot in the upcoming All-Star Game, set for July 19 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Clark and Napheesa Collier topped the fan voting with 1,293,526 and 1,176,020 votes, respectively, securing the chance to draft their own teams.
When asked if she planned to prioritize her Fever teammates in the draft, Clark didn’t hesitate to give an honest, straightforward answer.
“I mean, obviously I am going to try and get my teammates on my team. Why wouldn’t I? That’s obviously the goal,” said Clark. “Obviously my first goal will certainly be to have my teammates on my team.”

The Fever’s Aliyah Boston, Kelsey Mitchell and Lexie Hull have all received a significant amount of votes and could find themselves attending the prestigious event this year.
Forward Natasha Howard and guard Sophie Cunningham could also be dark horses to make the team.
The 2025 WNBA All-Star Game voting format is a little complicated and involves a few different steps. Fans, players and a media panel will all vote for their All-Star Game starters.
Once those votes are tallied, WNBA coaches will select 12 reserves (six for each team) to fill out the roster. Coaches are not permitted to choose players for their own WNBA team’s roster.
The ASG draft is the next step in the process, with Clark and Collier first picking their starting lineups and then moving on to reserves.
The game will take place at the Fever’s home stadium in Indianapolis this year and we can expect to see plenty of representatives from the hometown team on the court.
