Caitlin Clark will not be taking part in WNBA All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis.
The No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft was set to play a major role in All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis, her home city. Clark was named a captain for one of the teams and she was set to compete in the 3-Point Contest, too.

However, none of that will be happening.
Clark, who is averaging 16 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds per game in 2025, took to social media on Thursday, to announce that due to injuries, she’s being forced to skip the event.

Clark is extremely saddened by the decision, though it should be for the best in the long run.
“I’m so excited for Indy to host WNBA All-Star this weekend. I want to thank the Indianapolis Host Committee and all of the people that have put endless work in over the past year to put this event together. I know this will be the best All-Star yet.
“I am incredibly sad to say and disappointed to say I can’t participate in the 3-Point Contest or the All-Star Game. I have to rest my body. I will still be at Gainbridge Fieldhouse for all the action and I’m looking forward to helping Sandy coach our team to a win.

“Can’t wait to see you all out there!”
It’s nice to hear that Clark will still be in attendance, but it’s extremely disappointing to hear that she won’t be participating in any of the events.
Clark is undoubtedly the league’s most popular player and the league’s biggest draw.
The 2025 WNBA All-Star Weekend is set to begin later this week, live from Indianapolis.
