Rookie Azzi Fudd is accustomed to being in the national limelight after winning an NCAA championship with UConn in 2025 and being drafted No. 1 overall by the Dallas Wings last April.

On Friday night in Chicago, Fudd will be back in the spotlight as one of six WNBA players participating in the 3-Point Contest during All-Star weekend festivities.

Also competing is Atlanta Dream star Rhyne Howard, who, like Fudd, was a rookie the first time she took part in 2022. Rounding out the field are Marina Mabrey of the Toronto Tempo, Bridget Carleton of the Portland Fire, Natisha Hiedeman of the Seattle Storm, and Janelle Salaun of the Golden State Valkyries.

Only Mabrey and Howard have competed in the past.

Defending champion Sabrina Ionescu of the New York Liberty disputed a report that she declined to take part in the contest.

"Lies," Ionescu commented on a since-deleted Instagram post from the B/R W Sports account that showed Ionescu, Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark and Minnesota Lynx guard Kayla McBride along with a headline of "Declined to participate."

The WNBA nor the Liberty have commented on that report as of early Wednesday afternoon.

The 3-point contest is a two-round event, with all six players getting their turn in the first round. The championship round will be the top two finishers only.

The contest is set to start at 8 p.m. ET on Friday, and it will be televised by ESPN. The All-Star Game will be played Saturday night at Wintrust Arena in Chicago. Game time is 8:30 p.m.
