WNBA Stars Meet Obama at Historic Center | Indianapolis News

The WNBA All-Star weekend in Chicago shattered records and celebrated 30 years of the league — but the real highlight? Three Indiana Fever stars — Aliyah Boston, Caitlin Clark, and Kelsey Mitchell — became the first pro athletes to walk the floor of the new Obama Presidential Center, where they had a rare, inspiring chat with President Barack Obama himself. He urged them to stay grounded in the joy of the game, a message Caitlin Clark said she’ll carry forward. For veteran Kelsey Mitchell, the moment underscored the league’s explosive growth and cultural momentum — especially as she juggles her Ph.D. in educational leadership. Aliyah Boston praised Mitchell’s leadership, calling her the standard-bearer as the team heads into the second half. It was more than a historic visit — it was a powerful reminder of where the WNBA is headed. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
