The 2026 WNBA All-Stars were surprised in Chicago by a former U.S. president. The WNBA shared a video of former President Barack Obama making a surprise appearance at a Friday All-Star practice. Obama was also recorded having conversations with four-time MVP A'ja Wilson and Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark. "Don't let all this nonsense get you down... don't lose that joy," Obama told Clark. You're always hooping, and you're on a nice little run right now."
