Clark declined doing the 3-point contest at WNBA All-Star in Phoenix last summer, citing rest and mental health after what was a hectic rookie season. She had never shot off a rack, she said, and didn’t have time to practice ahead of the 2024 All-Star break.

The WNBA three-point contest is scheduled for Friday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, followed by the All-Star game Saturday night. Ionescu and Citron are both on Caitlin Clark's team for the game and will face Minnesota Lynx star Napheesa Collier's team in what's expected to be an equally fun and competitive affair.
