The WNBA All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis is meant to be a celebration—flashy entrances, big personalities, and some serious basketball energy.
But before the players even hit the court, the off-court antics were already stealing the spotlight.
From cheeky live streams to all-out club scenes, this year’s kickoff had it all—starting with a moment that had fans raising their eyebrows.
Courtney Williams Sparks Controversy with Bold Joke on Live Stream
During the pre-party orange carpet festivities, WNBA star Courtney Williams—known for her flair both on and off the court—was streaming live alongside fellow player Natisha Hiedeman on their joint channel, StudBudz.
As they soaked in the energy of the night, Williams spotted Seattle Storm forward Gabby Williams entering the event.
Courtney didn’t hold back. “I’ve got to let her know she looks good,” she said before walking up to Gabby and complimenting her.
But things took a turn when she added, “If it don’t work out, call me fine s*”**, a flirtatious remark that many viewers took as a pointed reference.
Dating Rumors and Social Media Speculation Swirl
The comment seemed to allude to ongoing rumors about Gabby Williams’ personal life—specifically, speculation that she’s romantically involved with fellow WNBA player Marine Johannes.
While neither Gabby nor Marine has publicly confirmed the relationship, hints have been dropped by others in the league.
Back in May, New York Liberty’s Jonquel Jones chimed in on an Instagram thread about openly gay players in the WNBA.
When Gabby Williams appeared on the list and Marine Johannes didn’t, Jones replied, “A y’all missing some of our points!…How Gabby on the list but not Marine..? Jaylyn Sherrod? Leo is as well.”
After fans pointed out that Johannes hadn’t actually come out publicly, Jones backtracked: “I thought they was out lmao my badddd.”
Courtney Williams Also Opens Up About Her Own Relationship Status
Interestingly, Courtney Williams herself recently shared an update on her love life.
She had previously announced her engagement to N’Shya Seigle last November, but the post has since disappeared from her profile.
In a more recent StudBudz stream, she confirmed she’s now single.
That revelation, mixed with her flirtatious comment at the All-Star event, fueled even more chatter online.
Fans wondered whether the moment with Gabby was serious or just part of Courtney’s bold, playful personality.
Meanwhile, Caitlin Clark Was Letting Loose at the Launch Party
While that drama unfolded, Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark was having her own headline-making moment—but for very different reasons.
The 23-year-old, who’s set to captain one of the All-Star teams, was spotted enjoying herself at the All-Star Champagne Launch Party at INVY nightclub.
Clark, known for her competitive fire on the court, showed off her fun side as she danced and vibed to music with a drink in hand.
At one point, she even hopped into the DJ booth, grinning as she joined the emcee in getting the crowd hyped.
When asked if she was ready to party, Clark shouted “woo!” and raised her can (which looked like a hard seltzer) high in the air.
A Weekend of Basketball… and Buzz
While the games are the main event, it’s clear the All-Star Weekend is just as much about personality and spectacle.
Whether it’s Courtney Williams stirring the pot with a risqué comment, or Caitlin Clark letting loose on the dance floor, the stars of the WNBA are making sure fans get a show—on and off the court.
And with the game still to come, there’s no telling what else might unfold.
