INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Fever will have a strong presence at this year’s WNBA All-Star Weekend in Phoenix. Rookie point guard Caitlin Clark, second-year center Aliyah Boston, and veteran shooting guard Kelsey Mitchell are set to showcase their talents on the big stage.
All-Star Debut for Caitlin Clark
Caitlin Clark, in her first year with the Fever, will make her All-Star debut in Phoenix.
