Who is replacing Caitlin Clark on WNBA All-Star roster? Team Clark’s new addition revealed

On Thursday, the Indiana Fever's Instagram account announced that Caitlin Clark won't be participating in the WNBA All-Star weekend set to be held in Indianapolis on July 18th and 19th.

This is probably the most disappointing news the Fever fans have received this season, as many were hoping to see the star guard suit up and lead her team as a captain in her second All-Star game.

However, they will now have to wait a year to see that dream turn into a reality. Following the news about Clark's absence from the All-Star weekend, Underdog WNBA revealed the player set to replace the Fever's star guard in the All-Star game.

Brittany Sykes has been selected to fill in for the reigning Rookie of the Year as she recovers from a groin injury.

While Sykes might not be able to match Clark when it comes to popularity, she is a good addition to Team Clark against a mighty Team Collier.

Sykes is averaging 17.1 points, 3.6 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game this season. She would be a good replacement for Clark, given that the Fever's star guard was struggling to make an impact in her last few games. However, in addition to missing their captain, Team Clark will also be missing three-time MVP A'ja Wilson, who injured her wrist earlier this month.
