US EditionCaitlin Clark the 9th-Best Guard in WNBA? That's What Her Peers Think in All-Star Player Vote
- Caitlin Clark, Indiana Fever guard, was named a captain for the July 19, 2025 WNBA All-Star Game in Indianapolis after leading fan votes with nearly 1.3 million.
- Clark's ninth-place standing in the player voting for guard positions highlighted her peers' cautious assessment, likely affected by her absence from seven games this season due to quad and groin injuries.
- Clark is putting up 18.2 points, 8.9 assists, and 5 rebounds each game, but she has recently faced challenges with a league-leading 5.9 turnovers per contest and poor accuracy from three-point range before being sidelined by injury.
- Basketball commentator Dick Vitale suggested that other players’ votes reflected envy towards Clark, while fans criticized her ninth-place ranking as unfair and pointed out that defenders challenge her as intensely as they do Steph Curry.
- Clark's strong fan support and role as team captain highlight her impact on the league, and hosting the All-Star Game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse may boost Fever and WNBA visibility this season.
