Caitlin Clark will not participate in the WNBA 3-Point Contest during All-Star Weekend, according to multiple reports. The league has extended an invitation to Clark, but she declines, meaning the contest will not include her for the third consecutive year. Fox News reports the WNBA added logo shots that appear designed to highlight Clark’s long-range shooting, but she still does not take part.
Yahoo Sports similarly says Clark misses the 3-point contest for a third straight year and focuses on the reasons for her decision, while Newsweek reports that the contest will not feature Clark and also notes that Sabrina Ionescu declines an invitation. Together, the reports indicate that at least two prominent three-point threats will be absent from the event.
With Clark out, the WNBA 3-Point Contest lineup will be determined without her and without last year’s winner, as described by Newsweek. The league and organizers have not changed the event format in the sources provided; the key development is the players’ decision to decline invitations.
