Everything You Need to Know about WNBA All-Star Weekend

Ben and Sabreena are joined by The Athletics 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 whos 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.
