WNBA All-Star Game rosters: Injury replacements named for Team Clark

The 2025 WNBA season is officially at its halfway point with the annual All-Star Game slated for Saturday July 19, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

The top All-Star fan vote-getters were Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark and Minnesota Lynx forward Napheesa Collier and they were named captains. Clark, who was also slated to participate in the 3-point contest, has an injured groin and will not participate in any All-Star activity. Phoenix Mercury forward Satou Sabally will also not play for Team Clark because of an ankle injury. Washington Mystics guard Brittney Sykes and Atlanta Dream forward Brionna Jones will take those roster spots on Team Clark.

The WNBA announced earlier this week that Lynx guard Kayla McBride would replace Dream guard Rhyne Howard on Team Collier. Howard suffered a left knee injury during the Dream’s July 11 game against the Fever. The Dream have since confirmed that she will be sidelined through the remainder of July.

The 2025 WNBA All-Star Game will tipoff at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday, July 19 and will be broadcast on ABC.
