Caitlin Clark shares hilarious reaction to Indianapolis hosting 2025 WNBA All-Star Game
Fueled by the hype around Caitlin Clark, Indianapolis has become the de facto epicenter of the WNBA this year. That will likely be the case next year as the city gets ready to host the 2025 All-Star Game, meaning the entire league will be in town for the game.
What did Clark have to say about that? It’s safe to say she’s excited – but the Indiana Fever star also joked about the buzz that’ll come along.
“I’ll be hiding,” Clark said with a smile. “I’m just happy I’ll be able to sleep in my own bed if I’m lucky enough to be an All-Star again. I would not have to sleep in a hotel room, not have to travel. I think that’s what I’m most excited about.”
Clark, Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell were the Fever’s three representatives in the All-Star Game this year. They helped lead the charge as Team WNBA defeated Team USA in Phoenix, and Clark made some history along the way. She and Angel Reese became the first rookie duo selected to the game since 2014.
Now, Indianapolis will get to experience the excitement of the All-Star festivities. Clark said it speaks to how the city embraced the WNBA as the league soars in popularity. That commitment, she added, will also help organizers put together a fun weekend.
“Honestly, I’m really happy for our organization and our franchise and the city of Indianapolis,” Clark said. “I think it’s a testament to how they supported us to begin the year. The first 26 games, we’ve had a ton of fans on the road, have a ton of fans at every single game at home. It’s been sold out. You can just feel the buzz and excitement. I don’t think there was a better place for the All-Star Game to go next year – I think everybody knew that.
“I know they’re gonna do everything they can to make this All-Star the best there has ever been in WNBA history, and I think that’s something that’s easily gonna be accomplished because they’re gonna spend a lot of time and resources into making it special not only for the athletes that are gonna be chosen to represent their franchises, but for the city that has given so much and our fans that have given a lot. I’m excited, even though it’s a year away.”
Of course, Caitlin Clark isn’t getting ahead of herself and planning to play in the game – although if she can keep her success going, there won’t be much doubt. That isn’t the case for her family, though.
No matter what, the Clark will be in attendance in some way, shape or form.
“I’m sure my family’s already planning. Who knows?” Clark said. “I’ll be there one way or another, whether I’m there or not, I guess. I live a minute away. I can walk here.”

Chase Sexton out for at least another round, Indianapolis Supercross, with practice injuries
Chase Sexton will miss at least one more round of the SuperMotocross World Championship to heal from injuries suffered in practice prior to the Daytona Supercross, the Kawasaki Racing team announced on social media. He will miss Round 9 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Sexton got off to a disappointing start with his new team, finishing eighth in the season-opener at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California. He rallied to finish fourth the following week in San Diego after coming out of the gates slowly, and then won his first race with the team in the second Anaheim event.
With a forthcoming off-week following the Indianapolis Supercross, Drew Adams could return in time for the East / West Showdown in Birmingham.
Since then, his best finish has been fifth, which he scored in the Houston Triple Crown event and in Seattle.
After missing Daytona, Sexton is fifth in the championship standings, tied with Justin Cooper at 49 points behind the leader, Hunter Lawrence.
An off-week follows the Indianapolis Supercross, giving Sexton additional time to heal.
Dylan Ferrandis hurt his thumb in a Daytona heat race, but an MRI reveals there are no broken bones.

The Indianapolis Colts under general manager Chris Ballard have generally been extremely cautious in free agency. They rarely bring in outside playmakers, a strategy that hasn’t paid off over the past decade.
Still, since 2017, Indianapolis has made several impactful outside additions. Some have paid off handsomely, and others have fallen flat. Let’s take a look at Indy’s best and worst signings over the past decade.
Best Signings
DE Justin Houston
Houston signed with the Colts as a free agent in March 2019 on a two-year, $24 million contract after eight seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, where he established himself as one of the league’s premier pass rushers.
Houston is the last Colts pass rusher to record double-digit sacks, doing so in 2019 (11 sacks).
QB Daniel Jones
Daniel Jones played better football than any Colts quarterback since Philip Rivers in 2020. He certainly was worth his $17 million price tag, and it’s fair to say he was one of the best Colts free agent signings of the Chris Ballard era.
Jones was transition tagged by the Colts earlier this week, becoming the second quarterback in NFL history to be placed under the transition tag.
QB Philip Rivers
Speaking of Rivers, he deserves a spot on this list. In his 2020 campaign, Rivers threw for 4,169 yards, 24 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. He led the Colts to their last playoff appearance and nearly upset the Buffalo Bills in the wild-card round of the playoffs.
TE Eric Ebron

Ebron struggled with drops throughout his career, but his one season paired with Andrew Luck was special. In 2018, Ebron hauled in 66 receptions for 750 yards and 13 touchdowns. Each of those numbers was a career high.
In 2019, Ebron’s production fell off a cliff. He only caught 31 passes for 375 yards and three touchdowns from Jacoby Brissett and Brian Hoyer. Still, Ebron deserves recognition for his one decent year in Indy.

Worst Signings
CB Xavien Howard
Howard was brought in weeks before the 2025 season, and after a month in Indy, he abruptly retired. The former All-Pro corner struggled mightily during his brief Colts tenure. According to Pro Football Focus, he allowed a 139.2 passer rating and 16 receptions while earning a 36.1 overall grade.
Once Puka Nacua went for 13 receptions and 170 yards while matched up against Howard, the 10-year veteran knew it was time to hang up the cleats for good.
K Matt Gay
Ballard rarely gives out money, but in 2023, he thought it would be wise to sign Matt Gay to the largest free-agent kicker contract of all time (four years, $22.5 million). Gay stayed for two seasons before the team cut him last spring.
During his time in Indianapolis, Gay converted 82.1% of his field goal attempts (64 of 78). When kicking from 50 yards and beyond, Gay had a 50% success rate (11 of 22).
DT Raekwon Davis
The Colts signed Davis as a cheap depth piece at defensive tackle, but he never truly became anything special. He appeared in 17 games in 2024, recording 15 total tackles.
The Colts gave Davis a two-year, $14 million deal only to cut him before his second season in Indy.
WR Devin Funchess
Ballard signed Funchess to a one-year deal worth up to $13 million back in 2019, months before Luck retired. Funchess missed most of the season with a broken collarbone that he suffered in Week 1 after hauling in three receptions for 32 yards.
Funchess’s lack of success in Indy wasn’t his fault, but it was another signing down the drain for Ballard’s front office.
