The Washington Mystics guard will play on Team Caitlin Clark along with Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen. And Sykes will be replacing Clark herself.
On Thursday, the WNBA announced that Washington Mystics guard Brittney Sykes was named an injury replacement. Sykes replaces Indiana Fever guard Caitlyn Clark who is also the captain of the team. So even though Clark is not playing, she is still a captain.
Sykes is averaging 17.1 points, 3.6 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game. In addition, she is averaging 7.7 free throws per attempts per game, second in the league. She now joins Mystics guard Sonia Citron and forward Kiki Iriafen where all three Mystics players will be on the same team.
I’m also happy for Sykes personally, not just because she earned her first All-Star appearance. I think that Sykes should have received an All-Star nod from the beginning.
The 2025 WNBA All-Star Game will be on Saturday at 8:30 p.m. ET on ABC, or WJLA-TV in the D.C. area.
