The 2025 WNBA STARRY® 3-Point Contest:
Obviously, this competition tests players‘ skills at shooting beyond the three-point line, but there’s a bit more to it than that. You can read more about the rules here or just tune in to see for yourself.
While Clark was initially slated to make her three-point debut this year, she was forced to drop out due to a groin injury that was exacerbated during a recent game against the Connecticut Sun. It’s unclear who will replace Clark in the competition, which will also include reigning champ Allisha Gray and 2023 champion Sabrina Ionescu. This will be rookie Sonia Citron’s first year participating, while Kelsey Plum previously competed in 2022.
