INDIANAPOLIS -- There was no stopping Napheesa Collier and her team in the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game on July 19. The Minnesota Lynx forward scored an All-Star Game-record 36 points and was named MVP in leading Team Collier to a 151-131 victory over Team Caitlin Clark at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
Clark, a guard for the Indiana Fever, and Collier were named team captains after finishing as the top two fan vote-getters. But Clark sat out the game and the 3-point contest on July 18 due to a groin injury.
