Indiana Fever’s Catlin Clark Selects Roster for the 2025 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark, one of this year’s 2025 AT&T WNBA All-Star captains, selected her roster as part of an hour-long edition of WNBA Countdown on ESPN, presented by Google. Clark selected fellow Indiana Fever teammate Aliyah Boston No.1 overall, followed by New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu No. 3 overall. Teammate Kelsey Mitchell was chosen by Clark with her first pick in the reserve’s round, guaranteeing all three Fever players will team up together on June 19 in Indianapolis. Minnesota Lynx forward Napheesa Collier, the game’s other captain, selected New York Liberty forward Breanna Stewart with the second overall pick.
Clark’s final two starter selections include reigning WNBA Most Valuable Player A’ja Wilson (Las Vegas Aces) and three-time All-Star Satou Sabally (Pheonix Mercury). After picking first out of the starters pot, Clark was given second pick from the reserves pot, using her first selection on her teammate, Mitchell.

Indianapolis Indians Take the Series Opener over the Gwinnett Stripers 8-1 at Victory Field The Indianapolis Indians loaded the bases twice in the first inning but only yielded one run before erupting for three runs in the second to give them a winning advantage they would not surrender as they took down the Gwinnett Stripers, 8-1, on Tuesday night at Victory Field. With a 1-1 game in the bottom of the second inning, Brett Sullivan wrapped a 391-foot home run around the right field foul pole to put the Indians (9-4, 51-36) on top. Tsung-Che Cheng reached on a walk one batter later and came around to score on an errant pickoff attempt by Ian Mejia (L, 0-1). Indy capped its game-deciding inning at a 4-1 advantage with an RBI double from Ji Hwan Bae.
The Indians pieced together a hit, four walks and a throwing error in the first inning to take an early 1-0lead. The Stripers (7-6, 36-52) responded quickly in the top half of the second, loading the bases on a walk, a single and a catcher’s interference before scoring their lone run of the game on an RBI ground out from Matthew Batten. Indy’s offense sputtered until the sixth inning when Liover Peguero jolted the offense with a solo homer to lead off the frame. The Indians added another run in the seventh when Bae reached base, stole second and came around on a Nick Solak single. Cheng capped the scoring with a two-run homer in the eighth to give the Indians some extra cushion. Thomas Harrington (W, 6-8) recorded his fourth quality start of the campaign, tossing 6.0 innings while allowing two hits and one unearned run. Dauri Moreta, Eddy Yean and Kyle Nicolas each tossed a scoreless inning while combining for one hit to hold the Stripers at bay. Bae and Ronny Simon each led the way for Indy’s offense with a trio of hits, with the former finishing just a home run shy of the cycle.
Former Indiana Fever Player DeWanna Bonner to Join the Phoenix Mercury Former Indiana Fever forward DeWanna Bonner rejoined one of her former teams after being waived by the Fever last month. Bonner signed with the Phoenix Mercury for the remainder of the season on Tuesday. Bonner was selected by the Mercury in the 2009 WNBA Draft and played in Phoenix from 2009-19 before playing five seasons with the Connecticut Sun. The Fever signed the six-time WNBA All-Star in February. She would go on to play in nine games this season for Indiana, averaging 7.1 points and 3.8 rebounds per game. The Fever waived Bonner on June 25.
“I want to sincerely thank the Indiana Fever for the opportunity to be part of the Fever franchise,” Bonner said in a statement released by Fever following the organization’s decision to waive her. “Despite our shared goals and excitement heading into the season, I felt the fit did not work out and I appreciate the organization’s willingness to grant my request to move on, particularly at this point in my career. I wish the Fever great success as they continue to build around this dynamic group of young players.”
Fever head coach Stephanie White said the following back in June regarding the team’s decision to waive Bonner: “I love DB. I mean, DB is somebody that I have so much respect for. She’s a Hall of Famer, and while I’m disappointed, I always want her to be happy. So, I’m thankful for the time we had and certainly want her to be happy and wish her nothing but the best.” The Fever play the Mercury three more times this season. Their next matchup in July 30 inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
