The WNBA’s All-Star Weekend has concluded, with Team WNBA defeating Team USA 117-109 thanks to excellent performances from Arike Ogunbowale, Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese.
With an exciting WNBA All-Star Weekend in the books, the Indiana Fever rookie shared an Instagram post with snapshots from her first WNBA All-Star selection in just her rookie season.
Fellow WNBA All-Stars Arike Ogunbowale and Aliyah Boston offered their support for the rookie sensation with comments on the post.
“tha future!,” All-Star game MVP Arike Ogunbowale commented.
“My favorite hooper fr,” Clark’s teammate and fellow All-Star Aliyah Boston added.
Ogunbowale finished with a WNBA All-Star game record of 34 points, adding six assists, three rebounds and two steals. Boston added four points, shooting 2-3 from the field.

Caitlin Clark breaks WNBA All-Star Game rookie record
Caitlin Clark impressed in her first All-Star Game, putting her electric passing ability on display.
Clark finished with a WNBA All-Star rookie record of 10 assists in the 117-109 upset over Team USA. The superstar point guard finished just two assists shy of breaking Sue Bird’s All-Star game record of 11 assists in 2017.
“Oh, it’s Sues? Then I’m breaking it,” Clark told to the broadcast. “She’s been talking crap all game. Then I’m breaking it. If it’s anybody else, they can keep it, not Sue Bird. Thank you for telling me that; that’s really important.”
However, Clark warmed the bench for most of the second half, managing 10 assists for the game, meaning Bird’s All-Star game record lives to see another season.
Clark averaged 17.1 points, 8.2 assists, and 5.8 rebounds before the All-Star break, while shooting 32.7% from behind the arc. Clark set a WNBA record with 19 assists in her final game before the All-Star break, while also adding 24 points and six rebounds and shooting 53 percent from the field.
As expected, Clark is showing flashes of greatness early in her career as she looks to help get the Indiana Fever to the playoffs
