The Comeback

Much has been made about Indiana Fever point guard Caitlin Clark finishing 11th in All-Star voting amongst guards in voting from players around the league. WNBA legend Candace Parker took exception with Clark finishing outside of the top ten, especially considering she’s in the top five in the league in both points per game and assists per game. “It’s also kind of crazy.

The 2026 WNBA All-Star Game will take place on July 25 in Chicago, IL, but one of the most impressive teams this season, the Atlanta Dream, won’t have any starters in the game.

However, star right winger Christian Pulisic has also been facing heat from fans and media for underperforming throughout the World Cup.
