Clark has proven to be one of the best guards in the WNBA, having played less than 100 games in her career.
Clark made the WNBA All-Star game and won the Rookie of the Year award in her first professional season for the Fever.
In her second season, Clark is looking to take another trip to the All-Star game. It won't be a long trip for Clark if she wants to have her name in the prestigious event.
The WNBA All-Star game will take place on July 19 in Indianapolis, the home of the Indiana Fever.
As the season inches closer to the All-Star game, the WNBA announced the first wave of fan votes.
Caitlin Clark leads all players in fan voting. She's one of four Fever players in the Top 10 in All-Star voting, joined by Aliyah Boston, Kelsey Mitchell and Lexie Hull.

"First returns of fan voting results are in. Caitlin Clark and Napheesa Collier currently lead the way for the 2025 WNBA All-Star Fan Voting presented by @Ally," posted the official social media account of the WNBA. "This list includes the top 10 vote getters thus far."
In her second season with the Indiana Fever, Caitlin Clark has posted 19.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game.
The Fever's positioning in the All-Star voting should be viewed as a great accomplishment, given the names like Clark is involved with, including Napheesa Collier, A'ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart.
The Indiana Fever will be back on the court against Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces on Sunday at 3 p.m. ET. Indiana boasts a 6-6 season record.

"We did guys. 4 players in top 10. I am so happy," commented one fan.
"Now you know," said one fan.
"At this point make it the Fever against the rest of them," said another fan.

Dodgers' Roki Sasaki Resumes Throwing Program in Recovery From Shoulder Injury
Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Roki Sasaki has restarted his throwing program as he continues his recovery from a right shoulder injury. Manager Dave Roberts said the 23-year-old phenom threw from 60 to 90 feet Friday in his return to workouts after a brief pause. "That was a bonus," he said. "That was a plus. Chatted with him briefly afterward. He was excited about it." The Dodgers had halted Sasaki's throwing program for the previous several days because he didn't feel comfortable throwing at full intensity. Roberts confirmed that Sasaki has remained pain-free, but must build up his arm to game strength in a process that will take at least a few more weeks. Sasaki went on the injured list May 13 with right shoulder impingement, and the Dodgers transferred him to the 60-day injured list earlier Friday to make room on their roster for their latest trade acquisition, left-hander Zach Penrod. Roberts said Sasaki's move to the 60-day list was "procedural (and) the progression … doesn't affect that at all." Sasaki began his first stateside season in the Dodgers' rotation, going 1-1 with a 4.72 ERA and a 1.49 WHIP in eight starts while adjusting to his move from Japan to MLB. The Dodgers shut down Sasaki after he developed pain in his shoulder, but the two-time Nippon Professional Baseball All-Star began throwing again earlier this month. The Dodgers currently have a mere 13 pitchers on the injured list after having as many as 15 injured hurlers in recent weeks — and Sasaki isn't the only key starter making progress in his recovery. Tyler Glasnow will throw two innings Sunday for Triple-A Oklahoma City in his first rehab assignment, Roberts said. The $136.5 million right-hander has been on the injured list since April 28 with right shoulder inflammation. Two-time Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell will throw a bullpen session soon at Dodger Stadium, Roberts said. The left-hander made only two starts to begin the first season of his $182 million deal before going on the injured list with left shoulder inflammation. Shohei Ohtani threw a bullpen session on schedule Friday despite getting hit by a pitch in his pitching shoulder in the ninth inning of the Dodgers' contentious 5-3 loss to the San Diego Padres on Thursday night. Ohtani is still scheduled to make his second mound start for the Dodgers on Sunday. Reporting by The Associated Press. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
