If 4-pointers and in-play substitutions are the future of basketball, remember that you saw them here first. We’re all reeling from Caitlin Clark’s injury-enforced withdrawal, but the quartet of radical rule changes set to shake the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game up guarantee to make it an event to remember regardless.
Here’s how to watch WNBA All-Star Game live streams from anywhere with a VPN.
The team will still play under the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year’s name — at the time of writing, a replacement captain is yet to be announced — against Napheesa Collier’s selection, and the Lynx power forward’s team have to be considered favorites, and not just because of the disruption suffered by Team Clark.
Cheryl Reeve, Collier’s coach in Minnesota, was originally supposed to take charge of team Clark. However, Clark and Collier decided to swap Reeve and Sandy Brondello around. What was Clark thinking?
Despite Clark’s absence, there’s still plenty of star power on show at Gainbridge Fieldhouse tonight. Angel Reese, Aliyah Boston, A’ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart and Paige Bueckers finished amongst the top 10 in the fan vote.
Back to those rule changes. Two pairs of circles positioned 28 feet from each basket are the designated 4-point zones, while the in-play subs could cause absolute havoc. And that’s not all. The shot clock has been shortened to 20 seconds, and there will be no free throws during the first 38 minutes.
Here’s everything you need to know to watch 2025 WNBA All-Star Game live streams online and from anywhere. Tune in to find out who comes out on top.
