Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark has made a bold decision by declining an invitation to participate in the NBA All-Star Weekend’s three-point contest in San Francisco in favor of making her debut in the WNBA’s three-point contest during the All-Star festivities in Indianapolis. The decision shows her commitment to elevating the WNBA and drawing attention to its activations. This choice comes after the success of the NBA vs. WNBA three-point challenge in 2024, where Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry narrowly defeated New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu. By opting for the WNBA All-Star Weekend, Clark is continuing to make a mark on the league, following her recent accolades such as winning WNBA Rookie of the Year and being named TIME Magazine’s Athlete of the Year in 2024. The move also aligns with her milestones, with the University of Iowa retiring her jersey in recognition of her collegiate achievements. Fans can expect to see Clark showcase her exceptional long-range shooting skills and draw attention to the WNBA during the upcoming All-Star festivities in Indy.
