Indianapolis – Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever is poised to make her debut in the 2025 WNBA STARRY 3-Point Contest on July 18, 2025, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The contest represents an exciting milestone for Clark, especially as she has established herself as one of the league’s top shooters.
Selected as one of the two captains for the upcoming WNBA All-Star Game scheduled for July 19, 2025, at 8:30 p.m. ET, Clark will lead Team Clark alongside her Fever teammates Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell. They will compete against Team Napheesa Collier, consisting of players from various teams across the league.
Clark has made a significant impact in her professional career thus far. In 2024, she set a new franchise record for three-pointers made in a single season with 122, surpassing the previous record of 102 set by Kelsey Mitchell in 2023. Her remarkable feat not only led the Indiana Fever but also topped the entire WNBA that season. Additionally, she is only four three-pointers away from matching the league record of 126, established by Sabrina Ionescu of the New York Liberty.
This season, Clark has recorded 28 three-pointers over 12 games, continuing to demonstrate her exceptional shooting abilities. During her college career at the University of Iowa, Clark set a Division 1 record by making 548 three-pointers. She previously broke her own record for most three-pointers in a single season during both the 2023 and 2024 seasons, each time with 201 attempts.
The competition in the WNBA STARRY 3-Point Contest will be fierce. Last year’s winner, Allisha Gray from the Atlanta Dream, made 22 out of 40 attempts, while Sabrina Ionescu, another fierce competitor, won the contest in 2023 by hitting 37 out of 40 attempts. Clark will also face off against rookie Sonia Citron of the Washington Mystics, making it clear that this contest will be a highlight of the All-Star festivities.
Despite her accolades, Clark’s journey this season has not been without challenges. She has missed ten games due to injuries, with five stemming from a quad strain and another five from a groin injury. Recently, there were concerns about her health after appearing to re-injure her groin in a game against the Connecticut Sun. Her coach confirmed that she would undergo evaluations to assess any potential issues, raising concerns about her participation in the All-Star events.
The Indiana Fever’s performance this season has fluctuated with Clark’s presence. With her in the lineup, the Fever have improved to an 8-5 record, compared to a 4-5 record in the games she missed. However, Clark has not yet played back-to-back games this season, adding to the uncertainty surrounding her availability. In her most recent game on July 15 against the Connecticut Sun, Clark managed to score 14 points, and contributed eight rebounds and seven assists, despite struggling with her shooting (finishing 4-for-14 and 1-for-7 from three-point range).
As the Fever prepare to host the All-Star Game, Clark’s potential absence would be a significant setback. However, she remains a strong contender for the league’s MVP award despite her injury setbacks, demonstrating the high level of skill and talent she brings to the court. As the All-Star events approach, fans and teammates alike eagerly wait to see if Clark will be able to showcase her incredible shooting skills in both the 3-Point Contest and the All-Star Game.
