WNBA All-Star Weekend Faces Multiple Key Player Injuries

The 2025 WNBA All-Star Weekend faces uncertainty as several key players, including star guard Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever, are dealing with injuries. Clark, who is also the captain of one of the All-Star teams and scheduled to compete in the three-point contest, recently suffered a groin injury and may miss some playing time. Phoenix’s Satou Sabally and Atlanta’s Rhyne Howard have already withdrawn from the All-Star Game due to ankle and knee injuries, respectively, with replacements being considered. Injuries also affect other prominent players like Angel Reese and Jackie Young, raising concerns about the league’s ability to field a full roster for the event. Clark’s injury is particularly impactful as the All-Star Game is held in her home market of Indianapolis, and her presence was expected to draw significant viewership. Meanwhile, former Louisville women's basketball players continue to contribute steadily in the WNBA season, although none were selected as All-Stars this year.
