Sparks Provide Bold Promotion Ahead of 2025 WNBA All-Star Game

Since March, Indiana's Gainbridge Fieldhouse has hosted a myriad of major sporting events — including the NBA Finals, men's and women's Big Ten Tournament, and from July 18 to 19, its first-ever WNBA All-Star Weekend.

The mid-summer event was sold out nearly three months prior on April 29, per a league announcement.

In a month-long lead up to the league's star-studded event, the Los Angeles Sparks continue to advocate for Kelsey Plum, Dearica Hamby, Rickea Jackson and Azura Stevens in voting promotions.

Of the highlighted four, just Plum and Hamby have previous All-Star Game experience.

“Being selected to the All-Star team is a tremendous honor and I’m excited to head to Phoenix to compete,” Hamby said, per a release, prior to last year's event. “This points to the hard work that I’ve put in during the offseason and in games so far, but it’s also thanks to my great teammates and coaches who have trusted me in a leadership role with our team.”

In the 2021 All-Star Game competing for Team WNBA, she logged two points, six rebounds and one assist. Playing for Team Wilson in 2022, she poured in 10 points, five rebounds and one assist.

Last year, Hamby recorded two rebounds, one steal and one assist for Team WNBA. The Sparks' forward searches for her fourth career All-Star bid in 2025.

Plum also has three All-Star selections in each of the past three years — including All-Star MVP honors in 2022 after scoring 30 points on 12-for-18 shooting.

She followed up the honor by pouring in 30 points for Team Wilson in 2023, then nine points and six assists for Team USA in 2024.

Stevens continues to impress in 2025, averaging 13.5 points and a team-high 8.8 rebounds and one block per game.

She poured in 16 points, 10 rebounds and three steals in Tuesday's loss to the Seattle Storm, serving as one of just three players to post double-digit points for the purple and gold in the defeat.

Similarly, Jackson has dominated since returning from an early-season injury.

The star forward scored a career-high 30 points on 11 made field goals in Los Angeles' win over Las Vegas on June 11 — and has managed 18 and 17 points while playing high-volume minutes in two games to follow against Minnesota and Seattle, respectively.
