Fever's Caitlin Clark passes on NBA All-Star Game 3-point contest
Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark wants her first 3-point contest to come at the WNBA All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis and will not participate in a special challenge during NBA All-Star Weekend, her representatives at Excel Sports said Wednesday.
There had been speculation that Clark might participate in a contest similar to the one from last year's NBA All-Star Weekend, when Warriors star Stephen Curry beat the New York Liberty's Sabrina Ionescu in an NBA vs. WNBA 3-point challenge.
Curry and Ionescu have had conversations to return in a variation of the shootout, which could include other NBA and WNBA players such as Klay Thompson of the Dallas Mavericks, sources told ESPN in November.
Ionescu told The Associated Press earlier this month she planned to be at the NBA All-Star festivities, but she declined to elaborate whether she would be involved in any on-court activities.
