Lisa Bluder weighs in on Caitlin Clark’s WNBA success and current women’s NCAA season
Former Iowa women’s basketball coach Lisa Bluder stops by to discuss life after basketball and her new partnership with Gamechanger.
If you were thinking Caitlin Clark would be part of the NBA All-Star 3-point contest, don’t get your hopes up.
The WNBA star will not be participating in any of the NBA’s All-Star Weekend festivities next month, her representatives at Excel Sports told ESPN on Wednesday. Instead, Clark wants to do her first 3-point contest when the WNBA All-Star Game is held in Indianapolis in July.
After finishing up her rookie season in the WNBA last year, there was speculation Clark would participate in some event at the 2025 NBA All-Star Weekend in San Francisco. Ideas included her taking part in the 3-point contest, or having a showdown with an NBA star, similar to when Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry faced New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu in an NBA vs. WNBA 3-point challenge during the 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend. Curry won the matchup.
Clark, who won WNBA Rookie of the Year in 2024 after she was drafted first overall by the Indiana Fever, did not participate in the last year’s WNBA 3-point challenge. She did play in the All-Star Game, which was Team WNBA vs. Team USA ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics. The 2025 WNBA All-Star Weekend will be at Clark’s home arena in Indianapolis.
NBA All-Star weekend be Feb. 14-16 at the Chase Center, home of the Warriors. WNBA All-Star Weekend will be July 18-19 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
Clark will have her jersey retired in Iowa on Sunday, when the Hawkeyes host Southern California.
