Clark, Sabally Out; Sykes, Jones Join All-Star Game

Caitlin Clark and Satou Sabally have withdrawn from the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game due to injuries, with Clark aggravating a groin injury earlier in the week and Sabally sidelined by an ankle issue. Washington Mystics guard Brittney Sykes and Atlanta Dream forward Brionna Jones have been named as their replacements, with Sykes making her first and Jones her fourth All-Star appearance. Clark, who led fan voting and was set to captain her team, will still participate in All-Star Weekend activities in Indianapolis by helping coach Team Clark. The event, hosted by the Indiana Fever for the first time, is experiencing record-breaking fan engagement but will be without two of its brightest stars. The league has yet to announce who will replace Clark in the 3-Point Contest. Despite these changes, both Sykes and Jones are expected to make strong contributions.
