INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Fever will be well-represented at this year's WNBA All-Star Weekend, with rookie point guard Caitlin Clark, second-year center Aliyah Boston and veteran shooting guard Kelsey Mitchell slated to play in Phoenix.
Clark will make her All-Star debut in the Grand Canyon State. Last year, Boston became the eighth rookie All-Star starter in WNBA history and went on to be named the league's rookie of the year.
Mitchell was an All-Star in 2023, and she's the Fever's leading scorer so far in 2024. The former Ohio State Buckeye has averaged 16.3 points per game this year.
Over the first 20 games of the 2024 season, Clark is second league-wide in 3-point baskets made with 56, third in average assists per game (6.9) and holds two of the top five totals for assists in a single game. The rookie phenom has also averaged 16.2 points and 5.7 rebounds per game. Boston is averaging 13.1 points and 8.3 rebounds a contest.
The back-to-back No. 1 overall draft picks will play on Team WNBA, comprised of selected players who are not playing on the USA Basketball Women's National Team in Paris. In addition to the all-star game, there will be a 3-point contest and a skills competition.
It is possible that Clark, Mitchell or Boston could participate in the 3-point contest and skills competition.
According to a WNBA press release, Boston and Clark were among the top 10 all-star vote-getters. Sabrina Ionescu (New York Liberty), Napheesa Collier (Minnesota Lynx), Kahleah Copper (Phoenix Mercury), Dearica Hamby (Los Angeles Sparks), Arike Ogunbowale (Dallas Wings), Breanna Stewart (Liberty), A'Ja Wilson (Las Vegas Aces) and Jackie Young (Aces) were also in the top 10.
