This means that she and Minnesota Lynx forward Napheesa Collier (who received the second-most All-Star fan votes) got to draft their respective All-Star teams from the available pool of players who were to compete.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5f\">However, the groin injury that Clark suffered against the Connecticut Sun on July 15 (which would ultimately force her to miss the rest of the season) made it so she couldn&#8217;t play in the All-Star Game, which took place on her home court just four days after that injury. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5i\">Therefore, she instead became a coach for her squad. And this didn&#8217;t work out too well, as Team Clark was blown out by a score of 151-130. Although this didn&#8217;t bring any bad energy to Team Clark&#8217;s sidelines, as it was clear that everybody was having a great time with each other, despite losing what was an uncompetitive game. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/01k4r9z2fnxhrvcbqmw1.jpg\" alt=\"Indiana Fever's Caitlin Clark (22) calls a travel on Los Angeles Sparks's Kelsey Plum (10) on Saturday, July 19, 2025\" title=\"Indiana Fever's Caitlin Clark (22) calls a travel on Los Angeles Sparks's Kelsey Plum (10) on Saturday, July 19, 2025\" width=\"3603\" height=\"2026\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"5r\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Indiana Fever&#8217;s Caitlin Clark (22) calls a travel on Los Angeles Sparks&#8217;s Kelsey Plum (10) on Saturday, July 19, 2025, during the WNBA All-Star Game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. | Christine Tannous\/IndyStar \/ USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images<\/p>\n<p>Sonia Citron Speaks to Caitlin Clark&#8217;s WNBA All-Star Coaching Abilities<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5y\">Washington Mystics rookie Sonia Citron was one of the players Clark selected to be on her All-Star team.

Just everybody on our team, it was like, &#8216;Whoa, this is kinda cool.&#8217; And it&#8217;s just no stakes, so we&#8217;re just talking.
