Grading every player at the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game - ESPN

INDIANAPOLIS — Napheesa Collier was the biggest of the All-Stars on Saturday as her Team Collier beat Team Clark 151-131 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The Minnesota Lynx forward scored an All-Star Game-record 36 points as her squad dominated throughout.

The players spent a lot of the weekend sending a message that they want to get paid more by the league, as both sides are in the midst of collective bargaining. The city of Indianapolis embraced hosting the game, and the fans showed out in full force despite team captain Caitlin Clark being sidelined by injury.

Much more dialogue will come throughout the rest of this season on labor negotiations, and the injury status of marquee players such as Clark will be a continuing topic.

But here, we grade the individual performances of the 22 All-Stars on the court (and Friday's participants in the 3-point contest and the skills challenge). Indianapolis gets an A-plus for all it did to publicize the game and turn downtown into a celebratory space. Which players got the other top grades?

Napheesa Collier, F, Minnesota Lynx
Grade: A+

This was as close to a one-woman show as an All-Star Game could be for MV-Phee. She was 13-of-16 from the field and 6-of-6 from the foul line. This game doesn't count toward regular-season stats, but Collier is shooting 94.6% (105-of-111) from the free throw line this season. Collier, who leads the league in scoring (23.2 points per game), is the season MVP favorite for the first-place Lynx. So, perhaps Saturday was just a prelude to her picking up that trophy in a couple of months.
