The three new teams will be in addition to the two other teams that was announced, Portland and the Toronto Tempo, both team will join the league in 2026 season of WNBA.
The two All-Star captains, Caitlin Clark and Napheesa Collier will draft their respective rosters by selecting first from the remaining eight players in the pool of starters and then from the pool of 12 reserves.
WNBA is scheduled to announce that 12 All-Star reserves on July 6, and looking at the fan voting results, I have a good idea on who the 12 All-Star reserves will be.
Here are the number of vote that each All-Star starters received;
The WNBA just concluded the voting period for the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game. Clark and Collier are the two All-Star starters who received the most fan votes. Clark received 1,293,526 votes from fans, and Collier received 1,176,020.
Clark is averaging 18.2 points and a career-high 8.9 assists per game, while Collier ranks No. 1 in the WNBA in scoring (a career-high 24.5 ppg) and fourth in rebounding (8.4 rpg), leading the Lynx to a league-best 13-2 record.
Before the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game, Caitlin Clark and Napheesa Collier, with their teams, will face each other in the Commissioner’s Cup Finals this July 2nd.
In a statement, the WNBA said that “the two All-Star captains will then draft their respective rosters by selecting first from the remaining eight players in the pool of starters and then from the pool of 12 reserves.”
The 10 starters, including Clark and Collier, were selected from across the WNBA without regard to conference affiliation. Current WNBA players and a media panel joined fans in selecting the All-Star starters. Fans accounted for 50 percent of the vote, while current WNBA players and a media panel each accounted for 25 percent.
After the starters have been announced, the league’s head coaches will select the 12 reserves without regard to conference affiliation. The head coaches will vote for three guards, five frontcourt players, and four players at either position regardless of conference. Coaches may not vote for players on their own team. The names of the 12 reserves will be revealed across WNBA social and digital platforms on Sunday, July 6, at noon ET.
The 2025 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game will be played at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, home of the Fever, on Saturday, July 19.
It was a statement game for the Indiana Fever as they defeat the Dallas Wings 94-86 in a hard-fought contest that showcased the Fever’s depth and determination even without their star point guard, Caitlin Clark. Missing her second straight game due to a left groin injury, Clark’s absence provided an opportunity for other Fever players to step up, and they answered the call with a collective effort that secured a crucial road win.
From the opening tip, the Fever started fast, jumping out to an impressive 33-13 lead in the first quarter. Their offense was incredibly efficient in the 1st quarter, converting all of their shots from inside the arc and shooting a remarkable 59.3% from the field for the game. Fever’s efficiency carried over to the second quarter and was able to set the tone for the game, they managed to built a 20-point lead (40 – 20) but ended the half with a 13-points lead (56 – 43).
Veteran guard Kelsey Mitchell lead the Fever with a season-high 32 points and 7 assists, Mitchell also hade a crucial three-points to recapture the lead (82 – 80) after the Wings taking lead for the first time in the game. Aliyah Boston also continued to impress, adding a strong 21 points and six rebounds, keeping her consistent presence in the paint. Natasha Howard was a force on both ends, recording a double-double with 15 points and a game-high 13 rebounds, along with three steals. Making her first start for the Fever, Aari McDonald added 13 points and six assists, providing valuable playmaking in Clark’s absence.
turned up the heat in Dallas last night 🌡️
🔥 Kelsey Mitchell had a season-high 32 points 🔥 Natasha Howard with a double-double 🔥 Aliyah Boston recorded her 5th consecutive double-digit game 🔥 head coach Stephanie White recorded her 100th career win
The Dallas Wings is led by rookie sensation Paige Bueckers’ 27 points and six assists, lead the Wings comeback. After trailing by as many as 23 points, the Wings managed to briefly take an 80-79 lead in the fourth quarter, fueled by improved shooting and aggressive defense. However, the Fever kept their composure, responding with a decisive 9-0 run to reclaim control and seal the victory.
It’s a great win by the Fever (8-8), as they move back to a .500 record on the season before facing the Minnesota Lynx in the Commissioner’s Cup Finals this July 2nd.
Caitlin Clark is out again and will miss her much anticipated matchup with Paige Bueckers and Dallas Wings due to a left groin injury. It’s unclear when Clark suffered the injury but Indiana Fever Head Coach Stephanie White said “she found out about Clark’s latest injury late Wednesday night, after the training staff had taken her for an MRI.”
This will be the second straight game that she missed after returning from a left quadriceps strain injury, where he missed 5 games.

The Las Vegas Aces just handed the Indiana Fever their second straight loss. Their first loss was against the Golden State Valkyries last Thursday in San Francisco. The Fever managed to build a 10-point lead in the first half, but the Aces cut the lead to just 6 points entering the fourth quarter. That’s when the Aces’ experience and championship pedigree took over; they seized the lead (70–69) at 4:23 and never relinquished i
A’ja Wilson led the Aces with 24 points, 7 rebounds, and two crucial blocks. Jackie Young added 19 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists. Wilson struggled from the field, managing only two field goals in the first half.
Like Wilson, Caitlin Clark had another poor shooting night, going 7-for-20 from the field and 1-for-10 from the three-point line. Despite her shooting slump, Clark scored 19 points and had 10 assists. Aliyah Boston led the Fever with 26 points and 10 rebounds, and she was also the primary defender on Wilson for most of the game. Kelsey Mitchell added 20 points.
Game Highlights
The Indiana Fever will travel to Seattle for their match this Wednesday afternoon, while the Las Vegas Aces will host the Connecticut Sun this Thursday.
After a very physical game, the Indiana Fever defeated the Connecticut Sun (88 – 71). The win assures the Fever a spot in the Commissioner’s Cup Finals.
It was a close game in the first half but in the second half, Indiana managed to build an 8-point lead entering the 3rd quarter then tension started to build between Clark and Sun guard Jacy Sheldon, after Sheldon “accidentally” made contact with Caitlin Clark’s face during a play, leading to a shove from Clark and a subsequent push to the ground by Marina Mabrey. After a lengthy review, Sheldon was assessed a Flagrant 1 foul, while Clark, Mabrey, and Tina Charles each received technical fouls.
In the final minutes of the game, there was tension between the two team in the final minute of the game. With the Fever comfortably ahead, Sophie Cunningham committed a hard foul on Sheldon, leading to a scuffle that resulted in Cunningham’s ejection with a Flagrant 2, and ejections for Sheldon and Lindsay Allen of the Sun for escalating the altercation. Fever coach Stephanie White later expressed frustration with the officiating, citing a perceived lack of control throughout the game and the season.
Indiana will travel to San Francisco to face the Golden State Valkyries this Friday, while the Connecticut Sun will host the Phoenix Mercury this Thursday.
Angel Reese just recorded her first triple-double, powering Chicago Sky in a win against the Connecticut Sun (78 – 66). Angel Reese had 11 points, 11 assists and 13 rebounds for her first triple-double, she is the second youngest WNBA player to record a triple-double, second only to Caitlin Clark, who did it twice in her rookie year at 22 years old.
TRIPLE-DOUBLE BARBIE 👑
With 11 PTS, 13 REB, and 10 AST 7 minutes into the 4Q, Angel Reese has officially recorded her first career triple-double, and the second triple-double of the season. #WelcometotheWpic.twitter.com/KECvACl6Os
Helping Reese is her former LSU teammate, Hailey Van Lith who had a career night with 16 points and 5 rebounds from the bench. Kamilla Cardoso added 10 points and 7 rebounds, while Kia Nurse and Ariel Atkins chipped-in 11 points and 10 points, respectively.
Hailey Van Lith put up career-high numbers in Chicago's win vs. Connecticut ✨
It was a close game with Sky leading just 7 points entering the 4th quarter but that’s where separated themselves scoring a 19 points in the period but limiting Sun to just 12 points. Marina Mabrey lead the Sun with 22 points, making 5 three-pointers, with 5 rebounds. Veteran Tina Charles added 19 points and 6 rebounds, and Jacy Sheldon had 12 points. No other Sky player scored more than 6 points.
This is a much needed win for the Sky if they want to be one the playoff team. Chicago will be hosting Washington while Connecticut will travel to Indiana this Tuesday.
It was Caitlin Clark’s first game since being sidelined due to a left quadriceps strain injury, and it was the return that a lot of CC fans had been expecting. Caitlin Clark was flirting with a triple-double; with 32 points, 8 rebounds, and 9 assists, she accounted for 54 of Indiana’s points through her scoring and assists.
In a two-minute stretch in the first quarter, she scored a total of 12 points: an and-1, followed by three straight triples—a 33-footer, a 27-footer 21 seconds later, and then a 31-footer 22 seconds after that. This brought the Gainbridge Fieldhouse sellout crowd (17,274) to a frenzy.
Clark got a lot of help from fellow superstar Kelsey Mitchell, who added 22 points. Lexie Hull contributed 14 points, and Aliyah Boston had a double-double with 10 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 assists. Sydney Colson was big off the bench with 10 points and 6 assists.
The win is payback for their 90-88 loss to the Liberty on May 24th, the last game Caitlin Clark played before sitting out the next five games. The New York Liberty are now 9-1 for the season.
On the Liberty side, Sabrina Ionescu led the team with a season-high 34 points and 4 assists. Breanna Stewart added 24 points and 5 rebounds. New York is missing the services of Jonquel Jones, who is out with an ankle injury, and Leonie Fiebich due to her overseas commitment for Germany in the EuroBasket competition.

Caitlin Clark missed a total of 5 games since May 26th due to a left quadriceps strain injury. The team initially announced that Clark will miss two weeks but her return against the Liberty this Saturday, will extend that to a total of three weeks.
Together with Clark, Sophie Cunningham is alkso expected to play for the Indiana Fever against the New York Liberty, she’s been out after reaggrevating her ankle injury in an 85-83 loss to the Connecticut Sun on May 30.
WNBA just announced that the WNBA All-Star voting will start this June 12th and will end on before midnight of the 28th of June. The league explained that “fans may submit one full ballot each day via WNBA.com and the WNBA App. All WNBA players currently on team rosters will be available for selection.”
WNBA Announces All-Star Voting 2025 Presented By Ally Tips Off Thursday, June 12. pic.twitter.com/36szS9n6u5
WNBA players and media will join fans in selecting the All-Star starters. Fans will account for 50 percent of the vote, while all current players and a media panel will account for 25 percent each. Players and media panelists will be able to complete one ballot, featuring four guards and six frontcourt players.
After all votes are tallied, players will be ranked by position (guard and frontcourt) within each of the three voting groups – fan votes, player votes and media votes. Each player’s score will be calculated by averaging their weighted rank from the fan votes, the player votes and the media votes. The four guards and six frontcourt players with the best score will be named as starters for AT&T WNBA All-Star 2025. Fan voting will serve as the tiebreaker for players in a position group with the same score.
After the starters have been determined, the league’s head coaches will select the 12 reserves. The head coaches will vote for three guards, five frontcourt players and four players at either position regardless of conference. Coaches may not vote for players on their own team. The announcement dates for both the starters and reserves will be shared later this month.
The two All-Star captains – the starters who receive the most fan votes – will then draft their respective rosters by selecting first from the remaining eight players in the pool of starters and then from the pool of 12 reserves. ESPN will broadcast the results of the roster draft for the 2025 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game during an hourlong edition of WNBA Countdown on Tuesday, July 8 (7 p.m. ET).
2025 WNBA All-Star Voting presented by @Ally starts on Thursday at 2PM ET!! 🚨
Indiana Fever Guard Caitlin will miss at least of two weeks due to a left quadriceps strain injury. The team added that “further updates will be provided, as available, following re-evaluation.”
Caitlin Clark has suffered a left quadriceps strain and will be out a minimum of two weeks.
It’s unclear when the injury occurred, since Clark played 38 minutes in their last game against the New York Liberty. This injury may be related to the left quad tightness that Clark experienced in the preseason, she even missed an exhibition game.
Left Quadriceps Strain indicates damage to one of the four muscles at the front of her left thigh. Quadriceps strains can range in severity from mild (Grade 1) to severe (Grade 3, a complete tear). The “minimum of two weeks” suggests it’s likely a Grade 1 or 2 strain, as a full tear would typically require a much longer recovery.
Being out for at least two weeks, means that Clark will miss a minimum of four games. These games include matchups against the Washington Mystics (twice), Connecticut Sun, and a highly anticipated road game against the Chicago Sky.
May 29 – Washington Mystics
May 31 – Connecticut Sun
June 4 – Washington Mystics
June 8 – Chicago Sky
Caitlin Clark will most likely be back against the Atlanta Dream on June 11th.
The Indiana Fever suffered another heartbreaking home loss, falling to the New York Liberty after clawing back from a 15-point deficit. Despite a dominant third quarter where the Fever outscored the Liberty 30-13, they couldn’t maintain the momentum, managing only 12 points in the fourth quarter while the Liberty scored 22. Sabrina Ionescu sealed the win for New York with two crucial free throws at the end of the game. The win will keep the Liberty unbeaten 4 games into the season, while the Fever will have a 2 – 2 standing.
Jonquel Jones led the Liberty with a double-double of 26 points and 12 rebounds. Sabrina Ionescu contributed 23 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists, while Breanna Stewart and Natasha Cloud each added 16 points.
For the Indiana Fever, Caitlin Clark had another challenging shooting night, going 6-of-19 from the field, including 2-of-12 from three-point range. Despite her struggles, she spearheaded the third-quarter surge with a four-point play and a buzzer-beating shot to end the quarter. Clark finished with 18 points, 5 rebounds, and 10 assists. Aliyah Boston delivered another stellar performance, tallying 27 points and 13 rebounds. Kelsey Mitchell and Lexie Hull each chipped in 15 points. Natasha Howard, the hero of their previous game, was limited to 6 points and 8 rebounds.
The Atlanta Dream narrowly defeated the Indiana Fever last night in a tightly contested and physical matchup at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, emerging with a 91-90 victory. Atlanta capitalize on their size and physicality for most of the game, until the Fever made a furious fourth-quarter rally but it was not enough to get the win at home.
Atlanta established an early lead, showcasing their stifling and physical defense that disrupted the Fever’s offense. They outshot Indiana in the paint during the first quarter, ending it with a 31-23 advantage. The Dream’s strong defensive presence continued throughout much of the game, making it difficult for the Fever to find consistent offensive flow.
Despite the defensive pressure, the Fever, lead by Caitlin Clark, began to claw their way back. Clark, who had a standout night with 27 points and 11 assists, hit crucial shots to keep Indiana in contention. Aliyah Boston followed-up her first game performance with 24 points and 10 rebounds, marking her second consecutive double-double. Kelsey Mitchell added 24 points to complete a potent scoring trio for the Fever.
Brittney Griner led Atlanta with 21 points and 8 rebounds in her first win with the team, while Rhyne Howard added 20 points, including key free throws in the final seconds. Brionna Jones contributed a double-double with 19 points and 13 rebounds, and Allisha Gray chipped in 16 points.
The fourth quarter was a nail-biter, with the Fever battling back from an 11-point deficit early in the period. Clark and Lexie Hull combined for nine points on three-pointers to close the gap, and Indiana took its second lead of the game with just 21 seconds remaining. However, a crucial foul sent Rhyne Howard to the free-throw line, where she sank both shots to retake the lead for Atlanta. Despite a last-ditch effort by the Fever at the buzzer, the Dream held on for the one-point victory.
The game was a physical affair, with both teams battling hard on every possession. While the Fever showed resilience in their comeback attempt, their 10 missed free throws and 14 turnovers ultimately proved costly.
The two teams will face off again on Thursday, with the Fever traveling to Atlanta for another anticipated matchup.
The Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky played their first game of the 2025 WNBA season on Saturday, May 17, 2025, at the sold-out Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
Indiana Fever won the game convincingly with a final score of 93-58. Caitlin Clark led the Fever with a triple-double, recording 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists. She also had a career-high four blocks. This was Clark’s third triple-double of her WNBA career, tying her with Candace Parker for the third-most in league history.
Together with Clark, Aliyah Boston of the Fever also had a strong performance with a double-double, scoring 19 points and grabbing 13 rebounds with 5 blocks. Making her debut for the Fever, Natasha Howard and Kelsey Mitchell each scored 15 points. DeWanna Bonner, another offseason addition for the Fever, also had a historic night, scoring 7 points and moving her into third place on the WNBA’s all-time scoring list, surpassing Tina Thompson. She now has 7,489 career points.

In the second quarter, the Fever tightened their defense, allowing the Sky to score just 15 points while managing to build a 13-point lead by the end of the first half (45-32). In the second half, the Fever’s offensive firepower was on full display, scoring 48 points while restricting the Chicago Sky to just 26 points in the same period.
For the Chicago Sky, Angel Reese had a double-double with 12 points and 17 rebounds, Ariel Atkins added 11 points.
There was a heated moment in the third quarter when Caitlin Clark committed a hard foul on Angel Reese. The foul was reviewed and upgraded to a flagrant 1. Technical fouls were also assessed to Reese and Boston after Reese confronted Clark.
Caitlin Clark isn’t messing around this season. A triple double, a route over the Sky and then a smart foul that set off her nemesis. This drama is good for the WNBA. This shouldn’t have been deemed a flagrant foul.
This is just a testament on the popularity of Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever. The reaction of the four Indiana Fever (Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston, DeWanna Bonner, and Kelsey Mitchell) when they saw their pictures on the cover of SI is just priceless.
"I can't wait to show my mom." ❤️📖

For their fans, the Fever released a 6-minute behind-the-scenes video of the photoshoot and Sports Illustrated’s 12-minute video, “Aliyah Boston Tea Party” as they compete to see who knows their teammates better”
After waiving guard Jaelyn Brown last May 14th, the Indiana Fever now have their final roster for WNBA Season 2024. The team has made several key additions through free agency and the draft to bolster their lineup around rising star Caitlin Clark and 2024 Rookie of the Year, Aliyah Boston.
The Fever will only have 11 players on the roster due to salary cap issue and it’ll be interesting how far can the trio Clark, Boston and Mitchell carry the team, after reaching the playoffs last season.
LSU Tigers star and rap artist, Flau’Jae Johnson just dropped a new song and in the song she mentioned the current Rookie of the Year and Indiana Fever Guard – Caitlin Clark.
About halfway through her track “Help Me,” rapper Flau’jae Johnson (who goes by the single name Flau’jae in her music) delivers the line, “Double C on my jacket like I’m Caitlin Clark,” a clear shout-out to Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark.
You can listed to the new song as posted on Johnson’s Tiktok account.

The Indiana Fever move to 2-0 in preseason play with a 108-44 win over the Brazil National Team!
Kelsey Mitchell dropped 17 PTS, 3 STL and Caitlin Clark notched 16 PTS, 6 REB, 5 AST.
I mean, there’s no way the Brazil National Team will win this game, it was a matter of how many points Indiana Fever will score and how many 3-points and assists will Caitlin Clark will make. This is just the preseason but the atmosphere in the Carver-Hawkeye Arena was electric.
Indiana Fever will play one more preseason game against the Atlanta Dream this Saturday evening at the Gateway Center. WNBA regular season will start this May 16th and the Fever’s first game will be against the Chicago Sky at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on the 17th of May.
Indiana just announced (tweet above) that Fever superstar Caitlin Clark is questionable in their first season game against the Washington Mystics. The team said that this is due to a left leg injury.
It’s unclear if Clark will totally miss the game or will play on a limited capacity but one thing is for sure, a lot of Fever, particularly, CC fans are not happy to hear the news.
Here are few of the comments from CC/Indiana fans.
It’s official Paige Bueckers is now a Dallas Wings player, this was made official during the Introductory Wings Press Conference that includes the rest of the Wings draftees Aziaha James, Madison Scott, JJ Quinerly, and Aaronette Vonleh.
Reporter: "You're probably the hottest thing in Dallas right now"
Paige Bueckers: "I would say the weather's probably hotter than me." 🤣
Paige Bueckers is the 1st overall pick by Dallas in the recent WNBA Draft, while Aziaha James was the 12th pick, JJ Quinerly at 27th and Aaronette Vonleh at 31st.

First look of 2025 No.1 overall draft pick Paige Bueckers in her new threads 🔥 pic.twitter.com/FjYJ2DGCOL
Selected with the No. 1 pick in the 2023 WNBA Draft, Boston has averaged 14.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.2 blocks over her two seasons with the Fever. Unanimously selected as the WNBA Rookie of the Year in 2023, a season in which she became the first rookie to lead the WNBA in field goal percentage (57.8 percent), Boston has also been honored as a WNBA All-Star during both of her two professional seasons.
The move will make sure that Boston will be on the Fever’s roster through the 2026 season. This is also a sign that Indiana plans to retain Boston after her 4th year with the team and is assure of a fully guaranteed money unlike the previous 3 years.
Dallas Wings took UConn’s Paige Bueckers at No. 1 while 6’6″ French Center Dominique Malonga goes to the Seattle Storm.
Here are top 5 of this year’s WNBA Draft class;
Dallas Wings picking Paige Bueckers from UConn
Seattle Storm drafting Dominique Malonga from France
Washington Mystics picking Sonia Citron from Notre Dame and USC Trojans Forward Kiki Iriafen.
Another noteworthy pick is the 11th pick in the 1st round: Hailey Van Lith going to the Chicago Sky, reuniting the 5’9″ guard with Angel Reese, with whom she played at LSU.
For Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever, 41 of their 44 games will be on national TV, while thirty-three Las Vegas Aces games and Thirty-two New York Liberty games will be nationally televised or streamed.
WNBA published an article regarding the WNBA schedule.
