The NBA was hopeful that Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark would make the trip out to the Chase Center for All-Star weekend and participate in this year's Three-Point Shootout. There had been some rumblings that Steph Curry and Klay Thompson could compete alongside Clark and Sabrina Ionescu in the annual shooting competition, similar to the one between Curry and Ionescu in 2024.
Those plans were put to the wayside on Wednesday after Clark informed the NBA she would not be participating. As for her reason why, Shams Charania reports that Clark wants her first experience in the three-point contest to be in the WNBA.
