Caitlin Clark joins Sabrina Ionescu in WNBA 3-point contest field

The WNBA 3-point contest added some extra star power this year.

Fever guard Caitlin Clark will be part of the 2025 event, the league announced Tuesday. 

Clark, competing for the first time, is joined by other talented trey ball shooters Sabrina Ionescu (Liberty), Sonia Citron (Mystics), Kelsey Plum (Sparks) and 2024 3-point champion Allisha Gray (Dream). 

The Fever phenom has been one of the best players in the league since getting drafted No. 1 overall last year, as she took home Rookie of the Year in 2024 has been named an All-Star twice.

Clark, 23, didn’t compete in last year’s contest and will be making her debut in front over he home fans in Indianapolis for this season’s All-Star festivities.

While Clark is known for making a lot of 3-pointers, though she comes into Friday’s competition as an underdog given the circumstances of this year.

This season, Clark — who has battled through injuries and limited to 12 games this season — is shooting 28.9 percent from beyond the arc, which is the lowest percentage among the competitors.

Still, there is no denying that Clark has the range to compete in the 3-point contest. In her historic collegiate career, she set the Division I record for most 3-pointers made (548) on a 37.7 percent success rate.

Last season as a pro, she shot 34.4 percent from beyond the arc.

She’ll face steep competition from Gray, who leads the WNBA in 3-point field goal percentage (38.9 percent) among qualified players. Plum and Ionescu rank seventh and eighth, respectively.

Ionescu won the contest in 2023 and set a league record with 37 points in the clinching round.

This year’s skills challenge will start at 8 p.m. ET on Friday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse while the All-Star Game will take place a day later at 8:30 p.m.
