Clark’s squad features Aliyah Boston (Fever), Sabrina Ionescu (New York Liberty), A’ja Wilson (Las Vegas Aces), Kelsey Mitchell (Fever), Gabby Williams (Seattle Storm), Sonia Citron (Washington Mystics), Kiki Iriafen (Mystics), Kayla Thornton (Golden State Valkyries), Brittney Sykes (Mystics) and Brionna Jones (Atlanta Dream). However, Clark will not participate in the game due to a groin injury she sustained on Tuesday against the Connecticut Sun.
On the other hand, Collier’s roster is composed of Breanna Stewart (Liberty), Alisha Gray (Dream), Nneka Ogwumike (Storm), Paige Bueckers (Dallas Wings), Courtney Williams (Lynx), Skylar Diggins (Storm), Angel Reese (Chicago Sky), Alyssa Thomas (Phoenix Mercury), Kelsey Plum (Los Angeles Sparks) and Kayla McBride (Lynx).
After both rosters assembled on Friday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis to prepare for All-Star weekend, Clark’s team engaged in a half-court shot contest. Ultimately, Mitchell sank her shot to win the competition, which earned mixed reactions from the team.

“That’s not fair,” Wilson and a few others said in a video of the competition posted on X by the WNBA, while Clark gave her Fever teammate a thumbs down. However, Mitchell received a high five and cheers from others.

The 3-point contest features Gray, Citron, Ionescu, Plum and Lexie Hull (Fever), who will replace Clark. The event starts at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN.
