Caitlin Clark shares her thoughts on Indianapolis hosting 2025 WNBA All-Star Game

The second season of Caitlin Clark in the WNBA is expected to be even better and the young guard will have more eyeballs on her when Gainbridge Fieldhouse serves as the venue of the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game.

Speaking on the possibility of being the face of the event, Clark had a fun response, making it clear she didn't want the extra attention that comes with hosting the All-Star Game.

“Oh gosh, no. I mean, I’ll be hiding. I’m just happy I’ll be able to sleep in my own bed… but honestly, like I’m really happy for our organization and our franchise and the city of Indianapolis. I think it's a testament to how they've supported us throughout the year and the first 26 games. We got a ton of fans on the road, a ton of fans--Every single game has been sold out. You can just feel the buzz and excitement," Clark said.

There's still time before that big event takes place, but right now, Caitlin Clark and the Fever are focused on getting a playoff berth in a challenging 2024 WNBA season
