Ben and Sabreena are joined by The Athletic’s very own Indianapolis-based writer, James Boyd, for a rundown of WNBA All-Star Weekend – complete with recommendations for where to eat, drink, and catch some players off the court.They talk to James about the current mood in Indianapolis, amidst the reality of another sidelining injury for Caitlin Clark -- how disappointing Clark's absence on the court this weekend is for fans, especially those in Indy, and how personally devastating it must be for Clark herself. Then, the crew turns their attention to the festivities: detailing what to watch for at the 3-Point contest and the Skills challenge – including who might win both. Plus, they throw out a few ideas of their own, for ways the WNBA can get creative with this part of the weekend in years to come. Then, they discuss who’s poised to have a breakout performance during the All-Star Game on Saturday night. Ben rounds out the episode with an All-Star Skills Trivia Challenge._________________Visit our YouTube page!_________________References:Caitlin Clark leaves Fever victory with groin injury ahead of All-Star Game by James BoydCaitlin Clark invited to WNBA 3-point contest with Allisha Gray, Sabrina Ionescu and others by Sabreena MerchantCaitlin Clark’s absence from All-Star Game will cast a shadow by Ben PickmanFever’s Caitlin Clark to miss WNBA All-Star Game due to groin injury by Jenna West and James BoydWhat to know about the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game, skills competition and 3-point contest by Sabreena Merchant_________________Get in touch!
