Caitlin Clark named 2025 WNBA All-Star captain after record vote count

Caitlin Clark will serve as a captain in the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game after setting a new record for fan votes, earning over 1.29 million—by far the most in league history. In her second year the Indiana Fever guard continues to make a mark, leading all players in voting again and becoming an All-Star captain for the first time.

Clark, 23, is one of the starters for this year’s event, which is going to be held on her home court in Indianapolis. She’ll be joined by fellow captain Napheesa Collier. the two will draft opposing squads in the same way that they do over in the NBA All-Star game. Other notable starters include A’ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart, Paige Bueckers, and teammate Aliyah Boston.

In the Instagram update from Sunday, June 29, the Fever celebrated Clark’s selection by calling her “Captain CC,” and fans quickly joined the praise with thousands of comments. Some praised her as the face of the league while others suggested her selection would be controversial.

Clark’s popularity continues to reshape the landscape of the WNBA, bringing in massive TV ratings and crowd sizes wherever she plays. She suffered a quad injury earlier in the season and her on-court play has had ups and downs as she goes through a grueling rookie-to-sophomore transition. But, her influence is undeniable.
