Caitlin Clark, a rising star in the WNBA and standout player for the Indiana Fever, has officially begun her push for a second consecutive All-Star appearance. After a remarkable rookie season that saw her named an All-Star, Clark continues to impress in her second year, showcasing her skills on the court with impressive averages of 19.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 9.3 assists per game.
On Thursday, the Fever announced that voting for this year’s All-Star Game has opened, a news that Clark enthusiastically shared with her followers on social media. The All-Star Game will be held in Indianapolis on July 19 and according to the Fever, three players – including Clark, Aliyah Boston, and Kelsey Mitchell – are featured in their promotional efforts. Last season, Indiana made headlines when all three of these athletes represented the Fever at the All-Star weekend.
Clark’s recent performance has been hampered by an injury that has kept her off the court for the past five games. However, there is hope for her swift return, as she is expected to potentially return for the Fever’s match against the New York Liberty on Saturday.
This season, alongside her exceptional on-court performance, Clark’s ability to engage with fans through social media further solidifies her influence in women’s basketball. As the voting continues, there is excitement surrounding her potential second All-Star selection, which would further enhance her burgeoning career in the WNBA.
