2025 WNBA All-Star Game: Preview, Predictions, How to Watch

The 2025 WNBA All-Star Game tips off tonight at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, bringing together the league’s top stars for one of the biggest nights on the basketball calendar.

While Caitlin Clark will not play due to a groin injury, she will serve as captain and coach of Team Clark, ensuring her presence is felt as her team faces off against Team Collier.

Even without Clark on the court, the game remains packed with talent. Fans can expect a fast-paced, high-scoring showcase featuring MVPs, veterans, and rookies making a statement on one stage.

Wilson, Stewart, and Ionescu Headline the Veterans

Team Collier’s centerpiece, A’ja Wilson, the reigning MVP, remains the league’s most dominant interior force despite playing through a minor wrist injury.

Across the floor, Breanna Stewart anchors Team Clark, bringing her signature versatility with elite scoring, rebounding, and defense.

Sabrina Ionescu, coming off her second WNBA 3‑Point Contest title just last night, will be one of the primary perimeter threats, looking to extend her hot shooting into tonight’s game.

Together, they headline a star-studded veteran core leading both rosters.

Rookie Battle: Citron vs. Bueckers

While the veterans command the spotlight, much of the intrigue centers around the Rookie of the Year race, with Sonia Citron (Washington Mystics) and Paige Bueckers (Dallas Wings) set to square off.

Both guards are making their first All-Star appearances and have quickly emerged as breakout stars — Citron with her polished two-way play and Bueckers with her scoring flair and playmaking. Their matchup will add an extra layer of intensity to what is already a fast-paced showcase.

Fan favorites Aliyah Boston (Indiana Fever) and Angel Reese (Chicago Sky) round out the frontcourt talent, bringing size, energy, and rebounding dominance to their respective teams.

With Brittney Sykes and Brionna Jones stepping in for Clark and Satou Sabally, both rosters remain stacked with star power from top to bottom.

Prediction

Expect a fast-paced game with plenty of scoring from beyond the arc and in transition.

With Wilson dominating the interior and Ionescu’s perimeter shooting, expect Team Collier to win in a close one, 112–106.

Bueckers could swing the outcome if she heats up early, while Citron’s defensive presence will be key in keeping things tight. Fans should be prepared for highlight-reel plays and a scoring outburst from both sides.

Prediction: Team Collier 112, Team Clark 106.
