Caitlin Clark is keeping everyone on their toes.
The recently named All-Star was coy while speaking with reporters Friday regarding her intentions for the 3-point contest at the 2024 WNBA All-Star Game.
“Remains to be seen, we’ll see,” Clark said when asked if she would consider participating in the competition. “I haven’t decided. … Can’t give you guys every answer today.”
Clark, who was known for her impressive 37.8 3-point percentage at Iowa last season, was announced as a WNBA All-Star on Tuesday night, just three months after joining the Indiana Fever as the No. 1 overall draft pick.
She currently holds a 33.7 conversion rate from beyond the arc for the Fever.
The All-Star decisions were announced on ESPN just before Clark helped to draw the largest WNBA regular-season crowd in 25 years during the Fever’s game against the Aces.
There were 20,366 people in attendance for Indiana’s 88-69 loss to the two-time defending champion Aces in Las Vegas on Tuesday night.
Despite the crowd, Clark scored just 13 points on 4-for-12 from the field while hitting just 1-of-7 3-pointers, adding 11 assists and six rebounds.
The rookie All-Star is joined on the Team WNBA roster by Fever teammates Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell, something she sees as an accomplishment for the franchise.
“It’s super cool,” Clark said. “I think also to be there with [Mitchell] and [Boston] it’s obviously really hard for a franchise to get three of their own players to be there together. It’s not anything you take for granted.”
She will also be teaming up with rival — and Sky rookie — Angel Reese.
“I know people are going to be really excited about it, but I hope it doesn’t take away from everybody else,” Clark said of her and Reese’s All-Star nods. “This is a huge accomplishment for everybody on Team USA and everybody on Team WNBA. They all deserve the same praise.
“I don’t want it to take away from any of that and just be the focal point of All-Star weekend because that’s not fair to them.”
