WNBA All-Star Captains Clark, Collier Trade Coaches During Draft

News summary

In a surprising move during the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game captain's draft, Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark and Minnesota Lynx forward Napheesa Collier traded their All-Star Game coaches live on ESPN. Clark swapped Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve with Collier for New York Liberty coach Sandy Brondello, allowing Collier to keep her Lynx coach while Clark gained the title-winning Liberty coach. The trade was not pre-approved or communicated to the WNBA or ESPN but was quickly ratified by the league during the broadcast. This move also reunited Collier with Reeve, who had previously excluded Clark from the 2024 Olympic team, adding an intriguing subplot to the trade. Clark, who has been a standout player despite some injury setbacks, used the first pick to draft teammate Aliyah Boston, while Collier selected Breanna Stewart as her first pick. The trade showcased the players' influence and added an entertaining twist to the All-Star festivities.
