Caitlin Clark has struggled to remain on the court during her second WNBA season, having seemingly broken down after previously failing to miss a single game through injury in both college and the pros.
Now, the unthinkable has happened: Clark, the undisputed face of the league, has been ruled out of the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game… in Indianapolis at that.
That is according to ESPN, which delivered the soul-crushing update from Clark and could derail the league’s most anticipated weekend in recent memory.
The contest was supposed to mark Clark’s coronation as a hometown hero after she received a record number of votes and was preparing to lead her squad out as captain in front of a sold-out Gainbridge Fieldhouse crowd.
Sadly, this won’t be the case, which has left fans heartbroken and confused over Clark’s newfound frailty amid a sophomore campaign in which she was supposed to be stronger, given all of the work she put in during the offseason.
Caitlin Clark’s Absence A Major Missed Opportunity

The Iowa native left Tuesday’s game against the Connecticut Sun with a groin injury, which will leave her out for this Saturday’s All-Star Game and the three-point contest after she missed Wednesday’s game against the New York Liberty, a blowout loss.
There were major worries over a possible absence for Clark this weekend, and fans’ worst fears have now been confirmed, with the update likely having deflated the mood around Indiana in the buildup to the event.
In this case, it isn’t just a missed game but a missed opportunity to celebrate the rise of a generational talent embraced by the city she represents.
Of course, the show will go on as planned. But without Caitlin Clark on the court, it will go down as a massive loss for the city, the league, and the Indiana Fever.
