In a surprising turn of events, Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark is reportedly leaning toward not participating in the 2025 NBA All-Star 3-Point Contest, which could feature the likes of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Sabrina Ionescu. While there have been ongoing discussions between the league and Clark’s representatives, sources close to the situation suggest that the 22-year-old guard is hesitant to join, citing her preference for catch-and-shoot or off-the-dribble shots instead of the traditional rack setup. Though the possibility remains open, Clark’s reluctance has thrown a wrench in the excitement surrounding this high-profile event.
This news comes on the heels of the 2024 All-Star Weekend, which introduced a groundbreaking challenge with Curry and Ionescu competing. The inclusion of Clark, a rising star in the WNBA, would have made the 2025 contest even more compelling. However, the final decision is still up in the air, with some sources indicating that discussions might continue right up until the event kicks off. The 2025 NBA All-Star Weekend in San Francisco promises a fresh new format with a mix of games and teams, but Clark’s participation in the 3-point contest remains uncertain for now.
