The 2025 WNBA All-Star Game is set to take place on July 19 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, home of the Indiana Fever. This year's event holds extra significance for Fever fans as three of their star players, Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston, and Kelsey Mitchell, have been selected as All-Stars.
Caitlin Clark, one of the team captains for the All-Star Game, made it a priority to draft both Boston and Mitchell to her team. The All-Star rosters, chosen by captains Clark and Napheesa Collier, were revealed on ESPN. Clark secured her Fever teammates, Aliyah Boston, as her first overall pick, and Kelsey Mitchell during the reserve round. Collier then chose Breanna Stewart of the New York Liberty with the second pick.
Before a recent game against the Dallas Wings, the Indiana Fever honored Clark, Boston, and Mitchell for being named All-Stars for the second consecutive season. The players received custom All-Star jackets on the court and posed for pictures with the Fever organization and coaching staff.
Several ESPN analysts predict big performances from the Fever players during the All-Star Game. Kevin Pelton suggested Aliyah Boston as a potential MVP, noting her growth as the Fever's best player and her potential to shine in transition with All-Star guards. Alexa Philippou believes that either Clark or Mitchell could also take home the MVP trophy, highlighting the dominance of guards in recent All-Star Games. She added that Mitchell would be a deserving recipient after her years of dedication to the Fever.
Caitlin Clark's impact on the WNBA has been remarkable. Drafted first overall in 2024, she won WNBA Rookie of the Year, earned All-WNBA First Team honors, and became the first WNBA rookie to record a triple-double. This season, she is averaging 16.9 points, 8.6 assists, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.4 steals. Aliyah Boston, the No. 1 overall pick in 2023, also won WNBA Rookie of the Year and led the league in field goal percentage. She is averaging a career-high 16.2 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks this season, earning her third straight All-Star selection. Kelsey Mitchell, a veteran guard in her eighth WNBA season, leads the Fever in scoring and is averaging 19.2 points per game.
The 2025 WNBA All-Star Game is more than just a game; it's a three-day event filled with WNBA activities. These include the WNBA STARRY 3-Point Contest, the Kia WNBA Skills Challenge, and WNBA Live presented by Panini. The 3-Point Contest and Skills Challenge will be broadcast on ESPN on July 18.
