Caitlin Clark continues WNBA domination as she is handed huge honor in just her second season
Caitlin Clark has been named a WNBA All-Star Game captain by being one of the two players receiving the most fan votes, the league announced on Sunday.
Clark and Minnesota Lynx star Napheesa Collier will now have the opportunity to draft from a pool of the other WNBA All-Stars to create two teams ahead of the festivities next month.
Clark gets her second All-Star selection in her sophomore professional season, having represented ‘Team WNBA’ in last year’s extravaganza against Team USA before the Paris Olympics.
The remaining eight All-Star starters, who will be divided evenly between Team Clark and Team Collier, will be revealed on Monday night. The rest of the All-Star field will be picked by the league’s head coaches.
The WNBA All-Star Game takes place July 19 from Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, in what should be a rabid, pro-Clark atmosphere.
Clark has sat out the Indiana Fever’s last two games with a groin injury and could return to the court as soon as Tuesday’s Commissioner’s Cup Final against the Lynx.

More to come.
