Napheesa Collier Sets Record in Goal-Filled All-Star Game
In a stellar encounter marked by offense, Napheesa Collier shone with a historic performance, scoring 36 points to lead her team to victory over Team Clark with a score of 151-131 in the WNBA All-Star Game. The match, held in a festive atmosphere, was characterized by the absence of defense and an abundance of 4-point shots.
This unprecedented offensive performance comes a year after the league’s annual exhibition game featured a close competition, pitting the U.S. Olympic team against the WNBA All-Stars.
The event culminated a weekend where negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement were the focus of attention. The players wore warm-up shirts before the match with the message “Pay us what you owe us”.
Caitlin Clark, captain of Team Clark, was unable to participate in the game due to a groin injury sustained earlier in the week. However, she played an ambassadorial role throughout the weekend.
