WNBA All-Star Draft Unites Caitlin Clark, Team Captains Across Multiple Franchises

Caitlin Clark continues to be a central figure in the WNBA, both on and off the court. She was recently selected by Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark for Team Clark in the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game draft, joining a talented roster alongside players like Sonia Citron, who expressed excitement about teaming up again with Clark. However, Clark's season has also been marked by controversy, including a physical altercation with Connecticut Sun player Jacy Sheldon, which involved several players and drew viral attention, although no injuries occurred. Off the court, Clark's economic impact on the league is immense, with estimates suggesting she contributes close to a billion dollars to the WNBA's financial activity, significantly boosting media rights and franchise valuations. Despite this, Clark has faced challenges with recent poor shooting performances, including a historically low 10.7% three-point shooting over a four-game stretch, which sparked criticism after the league's promotional "warning" about her "heating up" backfired. Additionally, Clark has navigated inconsistent officiating and physical play, with analysts noting her adaptation over time amid ongoing league challenges.
