Fever Make Major Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston Announcement Before Wings Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Indiana Fever are looking to get back to their winning ways on the road against star rookie Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings on Friday night, June 27, but they’re looking a little beyond that game into the future as well.
Indiana (7-8) fell below .500 on the season following a home loss to the Los Angeles Sparks at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on Thursday. The defeat came absent star point guard Caitlin Clark, who missed the contest with a groin strain.
It was Clark’s first missed outing of the season due to that injury, though a quad strain she suffered against the New York Liberty on May 24 cost her three weeks and five contests earlier in the season. The Fever are now 2-4 in games that Clark doesn’t play this year.
Clark will sit out again Friday night, which is unfortunate considering it was to be the WNBA’s debut matchup between Clark and Bueckers, who figure to be two of the league’s top stars for years — if not decades — to come.
So while it might be a little difficult for Fever fans to get up for a game against a 4-12 Wings team away from home and without Clark in the lineup, Indiana’s social media feeds tried to inspire the fanbase to get out the vote for Clark, Aliyah Boston and several of their teammates ahead of the WNBA All-Star Game, which is scheduled for July 19.
“Show double the love on our LAST double vote day 🥰 🤩,” Indiana posted to its official X account. “Keep voting the squad into the #WNBAAllStar2025 Game right here in Indy📱🖥️ http://FeverBasketball.com/Vote.”

Clark is currently first in fan voting with approximately 516,000 votes, while Boston is in third with nearly 447,000 votes and Kelsey Mitchell occupies seventh place with almost 278,000 votes, per WNBA.com.
Lexie Hull is in ninth place after the first round of voting, while Natasha Howard is in 16th place. A total of 22 players earn spots on the All-Star team, and Sophie Cunningham is currently one spot out of the top-22, sitting in 23rd position.
Clark is in line to serve as an All-Star captain, which means she will get to pick one side’s roster on July 8 — assuming she remains in one of the top two fan-voting positions. Meanwhile, Boston is on track to be a starter, per Kendra Andrews and Michael Voepel of ESPN.
