Clark Skips WNBA 3-Point Contest, Dampening All-Star Weekend Buzz

Caitlin Clark declined the WNBA 3-Point Contest for All-Star Weekend, with Sabrina Ionescu also passing and several other top shooters missing from the field. The league had built much of the event and ESPN’s broadcast around Clark’s logo-three shots, so her absence is viewed as a major setback for viewership and marketing, marking another chapter in Clark’s pattern of not competing in the contest during her three-year WNBA career.
