The 2025 WNBA All-Star Weekend kicks off with the Skills Challenge and 3-Point Contest at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis tonight, despite Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever missing the event due to a groin injury sustained recently during a game against the Connecticut Sun. Clark was anticipated to participate but will instead support her peers from the sidelines.
Even in her absence, expectations run high as other notable players like Sabrina Ionescu of the New York Liberty returns after an impressive 2023 performance, competing against rookies like Sonia Citron from the Washington Mystics and veterans like Kelsey Plum from the Los Angeles Sparks and last year’s winner, Allisha Gray of the Atlanta Dream. Lexie Hull will also represent the Fever in the contest.
