Caitlin Clark had quite the weekend at the WNBA All-Star Game.
She met former President Barack Obama, unveiled her new line of basketballs and scored 17 points to help Team Spoon defeat Team Coop 129-122 Saturday in Chicago.

Clark and the Eastern Conference-leading Indiana Fever (17-10), who are riding a three-game winning streak, return from the All-Star break with a game Tuesday in Seattle (6-23), which has lost six in a row and is in last place.
“I’m excited this weekend is packed with a lot of stuff. I never want to take (All-Star weekend) for granted,” said Clark, who missed the All-Star Game as a rookie last season because of an injury.
“Any time you get to put on a uniform and play an All-Star Game is really special. It’s really a unique experience for myself as I never really got to play in a true All-Star Game (before).”
Clark was joined at the All-Star Game by teammates Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell, the latter who scored a game-high 28 points for Team Coop.

The Storm were represented in Chicago by 20-year-old center Dominique Malonga, who threw down a dunk off a pass from Angel Reese. Malonga is averaging a team-high 16.3 points, 8.5 rebounds and 1.3 blocks.
“I wanted to have an All-Star season but not necessarily be an All-Star,” said Malonga, who missed eight games earlier this season with a concussion. “I don’t know if it makes sense. I knew we were rebuilding and I just wanted to step up for this team and just have the season of me being a starter and just bringing all the work that I put in the offseason.”
This will be the third and final meeting between the Fever and Storm in the regular season, the first in Seattle. Indiana prevailed 89-78 on May 17 and 110-107 on July 17, with Clark scoring a career-high 45 points and adding 10 assists in the latter.
