While the players relaxed and vibed to the music, Clark’s aunts mingled with a few Minnesota Lynx players. They posed for photos with Courtney Williams, Natisha Hiedeman and Kayla McBride, who will replace the injured Rhyne Howard in the All-Star game.

Caitlin Clark gamely took the photos for her aunts, who felt at ease around the Lynx players. One of them even spent time getting to know Hiedeman’s name.

Clark, the No. 1 pick of the 2024 WNBA draft, was named one of two All-Star captains after topping all players in fan voting. Napheesa Collier, who came in second, will captain the other All-Star team.

Clark, however. will not take part in the action. The two-time All-Star pulled out after re-injuring her groin on Tuesday in the Indiana Fever’s 85-77 win against the Connecticut Sun. Washington Mystics guard Brittney Sykes will replace Clark in the lineup.

The event involved introducing the players to the fans. The loudest and most passionate cheers were reserved for Clark, the hometown superstar and easily the biggest draw in the WNBA.
