The 3-point shootout comes to WNBA All-Star Weekend for the 12th time. Only one player in league history has been a multi-time winner: Allie Quigley, who won four of five shootouts from 2017 to 2022. (There was no All-Star Game in 2020.)
The previous two winners are in the 2025 contest: Allisha Gray (2024) and Sabrina Ionescu (2023). Ionescu, a star with the Liberty, had the greatest round in WNBA or NBA All-Star history in the 2023 final, making 25 of 27 shots for a total score of 37. After missing her first 3-pointer, she hit 20 in a row, a mesmerizing performance that vaulted Ionescu into all-time status among shooters. For reference, the other winning scores in the current format were 22 last year, 30 in 2022 and 28 in 2021.
Participants shoot from five racks spaced evenly around the 3-point line. Four of the racks have four balls valued at 1 point and one money ball worth 2. The last rack is five money balls, and the players decide where they want to place it. There are also two logo shots worth 3 points each that sandwich the middle rack, resulting in 40 possible points.
As with the skills challenge, Aflac and the WNBPA are supplementing the WNBA’s prize, adding $60,000 for the event’s winner.
