Collier’s record-breaking performance leads her team to WNBA All-Star Game victory

Jul 19, 2025 | 8:53 PM

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Napheesa Collier scored a record 36 points to help her team beat Team Clark 151-131 in the WNBA All-Star Game that was devoid of defence and full of four-point shots.

This record offensive effort came a year after the league’s annual exhibition game was a competitive contest that pitted the U.S Olympic team against WNBA All-Stars.

The game capped off a weekend where negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement took centrestage. Players wore warm-up shirts before the game that said “Pay us what you owe us.”

Captain Caitlin Clark was unable to play for her team because of a groin injury she suffered earlier this week. She still served as ambassador for the weekend.
