WNBA Announced Competitors of the 2026 WNBA All-Star 3-Point Contest
All-Star weekend is rapidly approaching. Therefore, final announcements regarding all the festivities are at long last coming down the news pipeline. Such as the fan favorite competition of players hitting as many baskets as possible from deep. On Tuesday, the WNBA officially announced their competitors of the 2026 WNBA All-Star 3-Point Contest.
This weekend women’s basketball fans can look forward to watching the WNBA All-Star game on Saturday night. However, Friday will be just as thrilling. As WNBA players compete in a skills contest and the always exciting three-point contest.
While naturally some might assume Indiana Fever star, Caitlin Clark, will be a participant. However, she will not be this year. While audiences enjoy her riveting beyond the arc shots; Clark just coming off injury will not chuck threes this Friday. It was revealed that after giving it plenty of thought, Caitlin Clark has officially declined to participate in the 2026 WNBA 3-Point Contest during All-Star Weekend in Chicago.
Clark is not the only invited player to decide not to compete in this fun mini tournament. Sabrina Ionescu and Kayla McBride were also invited to participate in the 3-Point Contest but declined the offer.
