All-Star headliners Caitlin Clark and Sabrina Ionescu won't be participating this year, but there's still a wealth of shooting talent looking to reign as this year's WNBA 3-point shooting contest champion.
No. 1 overall draft pick Azzi Fudd of the Dallas Wings will be one of the headliners at Wintrust Arena in Chicago during Friday's All-Star Skills Night.
Also competing: Bridget Carleton (Portland Fire), Natisha Hiedeman (Seattle Storm), Rhyne Howard (Atlanta Dream), Marina Mabrey (Toronto Tempo) and Janelle Salaün (Golden State Valkyries).
From NFL plays to college sports scores, all the top sports news you need to know every day.
Two-time champion Ionescu opted not to defend the title she won last year in Indianapolis and in 2023 in Las Vegas, when she delivered what was almost certainly the greatest performance in 3-point contest history.

The WNBA All-Star 3-point shooting competition takes place as part of All-Star Skills Night, along with the Shooting Stars event.
Mabrey and Howard will likely be tabbed as the favorites since they're at the very top of the WNBA rankings in 3-pointers per game. Mabrey, of the Toronto Tempo, averages a league-leading 3.3 triples per game, while Howard of the Atlanta Dream has connected on 3.2 of her long-range shots per game.
