The Fever’s performance has significantly improved with her presence, making her health status crucial ahead of the All-Star weekend.
Indianapolis – Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever is poised to make her WNBA STARRY 3-Point Contest debut on July 18, 2025, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. This highly anticipated appearance comes before the WNBA All-Star Game, scheduled for July 19, where Clark has been named one of the two team captains.
Clark’s Team, referred to as Team Clark, features her Fever teammate Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell, and they will compete against Napheesa Collier’s team. The festivities are set to start at 8:30 p.m. ET for the All-Star Game after the three-point contest.
Displaying a remarkable talent for shooting from beyond the arc, Clark made a franchise-record 122 three-pointers during the 2024 season, surpassing Kelsey Mitchell’s previous record of 102 set in 2023. This impressive statistic not only led the WNBA but also positioned Clark just four three-pointers shy of tying Sabrina Ionescu’s league record of 126. Additionally, Clark owns the rookie record for the most three-pointers in a single season.
As of the current season, Clark has managed to make 28 three-pointers in just 12 games. Her tremendous shooting skills were further exhibited during her college career at the University of Iowa, where she set a Division 1 record by sinking 548 three-pointers throughout her time there. Notably, she also achieved the milestone of making 201 three-pointers in both the 2023 and 2024 seasons.
In the previous year’s WNBA STARRY 3-Point Contest, Allisha Gray from the Atlanta Dream took the win, making 22 out of 40 attempts. In 2023, Sabrina Ionescu triumphed by scoring 37 out of 40 attempts. This year, Clark will face stiff competition, including Ionescu and rookie Sonia Citron from the Washington Mystics.
The Indiana Fever’s current season record stands at 11-10. They recently faced the Connecticut Sun on July 15, 2025, where Clark managed to rack up 14 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists despite encountering shooting difficulties, finishing the game with a 4-for-14 shooting rate and hitting only one of her seven three-point attempts.
New developments regarding Clark’s health have raised concerns as she has missed ten games this season due to injuries, comprised of five games lost to a quad strain and five from a groin injury. Despite these setbacks, she remains a strong MVP candidate this season. Recently, Clark appeared to exacerbate her groin injury during the game against the Sun, prompting the Fever’s coaching staff to announce she would undergo evaluation for any potential issues that may impact her participation in the upcoming All-Star events.
If Clark were unable to participate, it would represent a significant loss for the Fever, especially as they prepare to host the All-Star Game. The Fever’s performance has greatly improved with Clark on the floor, with an 8-5 record, compared to a 4-5 record without her presence. Notably, Clark has yet to play in back-to-back games this season due to her injury challenges.
As the All-Star weekend approaches, the league and fans eagerly await clarity on Clark’s health status and whether she will be able to compete in both the 3-Point Contest and the All-Star Game, critical events that could showcase her exceptional skills on the national stage.
