The 2025 WNBA All-Star weekend has begun with Day 1 of the event taking place on Friday. Indiana Fever's Gainbridge Fieldhouse is the host for the proceedings this term, as Team Clark and Team Collier headline the All-Star game.
The first day of the event saw the Three-Point Contest and the Skills Challenge events. The New York Liberty had a clean sweep in both contests as Sabrina Ionescu retained her Three-Point crown, while Natasha Cloud took the win in the Skill Challenge.
All eyes now turn to the WNBA All-Star Game. Napheesa Collier and Caitlin Clark will lead the charge as team captains, having selected their squads on July 8. Both went with some familiar faces, with Collier choosing Courtney Williams, while Clark made sure to bring Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell onto her roster.
This year's All-Star draft also featured the first-ever coach swap as Clark traded Cheryl Reeve for Sandy Brondello. The two teams feature a great mix of experience and youth and will be rearing to get going on Saturday.
