WNBA All-Star weekendis officially here. Team Caitlin Clark will go head-to-head against Team Naphessa Collier on Saturday during the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. But before Clark teams up with Sabrina Ionescu in the All-Star Game, she will compete in Friday's WNBA STARRY 3-Point Contest. The 3-point contest field includes two former champions, including Ionescu, who currently holds the 3-point competition record in the WNBA or NBA after theNew York Liberty star knocked down 37 of 40 3sen route to a victory in 2023. Atlanta Dream All-Star Allisha Gray made history of her own last year when she became thefirst player in WNBA history to sweep the skills challenge and 3-point contestin the same season. She will defend both on Friday. Here's everything you need to know about the 2025 WNBA All-Star's festivities on Friday. Rhyne Howard currently leads the league in made 3s this season (56), but withHoward sidelined from All-Star activities due to a left knee injury, the door is wide open. Gray is shooting 38.9% from beyond the arc in Atlanta, which marks the highest among the five participants. Clark is shooting 28.9% from 3 this season, down from her average of 34.4% last year, and is looking to snap out of a shooting slump. She has shot 23-of-74 from the field and 6-of-35 from beyond the arc in the past five games as she's dealt with left leg injuries. The 3-point competition will feature two timed rounds with money balls (two points) and Starry balls (three points) in play. This year, players will also get to place a special "all money ball" rack, where every ball is worth two points, anywhere among the five shooting locations. The top two from the first round will go head-to-head in a final round.
