Fans will have to wait to see Caitlin Clark participate in a 3-point contest. But they likely won’t have to wait too long.
According to Sports Business Journal, the Indiana Fever star has declined a spot in the WNBA vs. NBA 3-point contest slated for NBA All-Star weekend in San Francisco next month. NBA executives were hoping to expand on the 2024 Steph Curry vs. Sabrina Ionescu 3-point contest, but this time, it won’t be with the Fever star.
Her representatives, however, indicated she plans to do the 3-point contest at WNBA All-Star weekend in Indianapolis this summer.
“Caitlin will not be at NBA All-Star,’’ her representatives told SBJ in a statement. “She wants her first 3-point contest to be at WNBA All-Star in Indianapolis this summer.’’
Clark declined the WNBA All-Star 3-point contest in Phoenix this past year in hopes of being able to enjoy her first All-Star weekend and get some much-needed rest.
This coming season, after a full offseason to train and take some time for herself, it seems as she will be ready to participate in the first shooting contest of her young career.
