The Caitlin Clark effect in the WNBA might’ve just played a role in where the league holds its 2025 All-Star Game.
ESPN’s Alexa Philippou reported on Wednesday that the WNBA will hold its All-Star festivities next year in Indianapolis at the Indiana Fever’s Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
Of course, that’s home court for Clark and the Fever, which underscores just how seismic her impact has been on the WNBA since her spring arrival.
Indianapolis is a great destination for a WNBA All-Star Game for its own merits, but we’re sure that Clark’s rise in popularity with fans had a role in bringing the event to where the Fever regularly plays its home games.
After making Team WNBA during her rookie season, we have no doubt Clark will play for the home crowd in the WNBA All-Star Game next year as long as she’s healthy.
