The 2025 WNBA season reaches its unofficial midway point when the stars converge in Indianapolis for All-Star Weekend.

This year marks the first time Indianapolis will be home to WNBA All-Star festivities, and the host Fever will be well represented in the All-Star Game with the trio of Aliyah Boston, Caitlin Clark, and Kelsey Mitchell. Before Saturday’s All-Star Game, however, the weekend begins with Friday’s Skills Challenge and 3-point Contest.

Clark’s representatives told ESPN’s Shams Charania in January that she “wants her first three-point contest to be at WNBA All-Star in Indianapolis this summer.” All eyes are on whether she will officially commit to the event after her 2025 campaign has been dampened by injuries and a shooting slump.

While there are questions around Clark, a few sharpshooters did not hesitate to put their names in the field early on, adding intrigue to this year’s event. Last year, Dream All-Star Allisha Gray put forth a historic showing by winning both competitions on Friday night, but it is not yet clear if she will defend one or both titles in 2025.

Here are the latest rumors and confirmed participants for the 2025 WNBA 3-point contest.

Mystics rookie All-Star Sonia Citron confirms her participation in the 2025 WNBA 3-point Contest during a podcast appearance with Hall of Famer Lisa Leslie.

“I think we can get a confirmation —yes, I am,” Citron said. This came days after she was spotted using All-Star teammate Kiki Iriafen as a 3-point shooting rack during a pregame workout.

Is Caitlin Clark in the 2025 WNBA 3-point Contest?

Clark has not officially confirmed if she will be participating in the 2025 WNBA 3-point contest.

In January, Clark turned down an offer to take part in a 3-point contest at NBA All-Star Weekend, and it was reportedly because her sights were set on making her 3-point contest debut in front of her home fans in Indianapolis.

Clark has dealt with quad and groin injuries in the first half of the 2025 WNBA season, but it is unclear if the injuries will impact her decision.
