WNBA Stars Aim for Three-Point Glory

The spotlight is on some of the WNBA's best shooters as they prepare to compete in the 3-Point Contest this Friday.

Rising Stars and Defending Champions

• Caitlin Clark, the rising star from the Indiana Fever, will be there, aiming to make her mark in her first-ever contest.
• She's up against tough competition, including:
• Sabrina Ionescu, who set a record last year with an incredible 37 out of 40 shots.
• Allisha Gray, who defended her title last year with a solid 22 out of 40.

Allisha Gray: A Dual Threat

Gray isn't just focusing on the 3-Point Contest. She's also gearing up for the Skills Challenge, where she'll face off against some of the league's top playmakers.

• The Skills Challenge isn't just about shooting—it's a full obstacle course testing:
• Dribbling
• Passing
• A variety of shots

Gray made history last year by being:

• The first Atlanta Dream player to win an All-Star event
• The first WNBA player to win both the 3-Point Contest and the Skills Challenge

Caitlin Clark: A Comeback Story

Clark, who set a rookie record with 122 three-pointers last season, skipped last year's contest to take a break after her college-to-WNBA transition.

• This year, she's hoping to bounce back from an injury-plagued season where her three-point shooting has dipped to 28.9%.
• Meanwhile, Ionescu, who missed last year's event to prepare for the Olympics, is shooting 30.9% from deep this season.

The Competition Heats Up

The competition is fierce, with Gray ranking just behind the league's top three-point shooters.

• She'll need to bring her A-game to defend her title against Ionescu, who's known for her accuracy.

The event kicks off at 8 p.m. ET on Friday, setting the stage for an exciting All-Star weekend in Indianapolis.
