Star-Studded Lineup for WNBA 3-Point Contest

Get ready for some thrilling action as Indiana Fever sensation Caitlin Clark gears up for her inaugural WNBA 3-Point Contest this Friday! The court at Gainbridge Fieldhouse will be electrified as she goes head-to-head with a stellar lineup, including the fierce Kelsey Plum and Sonia Citron, alongside former champion Sabrina Ionescu and last year’s titleholder, Allisha Gray.

An Evening of Skills and Thrills!

The intensity ramps up at 8 p.m. ET, just before the highly anticipated All-Star Game on Saturday night in Indianapolis. Fans can expect a riveting Skills Challenge as well, with Gray squaring off against a talented crew including Natasha Cloud, Skylar Diggins, Erica Wheeler, and Courtney Williams. This challenge will put their dribbling, passing, and shooting abilities to the ultimate test!

A Remarkable Legacy for Allisha Gray

Allisha Gray etched her name in WNBA history last year, becoming the first Atlanta Dream player to win an All-Star event. She also made waves by clinching both the 3-point contest and the Skills Challenge. As she enters this contest, Gray is ready to defend her title against fierce competition, currently ranking fourth overall in three-pointers made this season.

Ionescu Stages a Comeback!

Watch out for Sabrina Ionescu! After taking a break from last year’s contest to focus on Team USA for the 2024 Paris Olympics, she returns with a bang. Ionescu holds a phenomenal record from last year, having shot an incredible 37-for-40 to claim victory. This season, she’s aiming to regain her form while shooting 30.9 percent from beyond the arc.

Caitlin Clark: A Rookie’s Resurgence

Reigning Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark is ready to turn her season around. She made headlines last year by setting a rookie record with 122 three-pointers but has faced some challenges this season, shooting at just 28.9 percent from deep. Her performance in the 2025 contest could be the spark she needs after opting out last year for a break from the rigorous transition from college to the WNBA.

Rookie Sensation Sonia Citron Joins the Battle

Don't overlook Sonia Citron! As the only rookie in this fierce lineup, she’s making waves with her impressive 36.3 percent success rate from beyond the arc while attempting an average of 6.2 three-pointers per game for the Washington Mystics.

Mark Your Calendars!

This year's WNBA 3-Point Contest promises to be a showdown for the ages. With a brilliant mix of seasoned pros and exciting newcomers, it’s a spectacle you won’t want to miss!
