WNBA: New York Liberty star says she wants Fever’s Caitlin Clark as teammate

New York Liberty standout Sabrina Ionescu, the recent WNBA Championship winner, expressed her desire to team up with Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark for a future three-point contest against NBA stars.

Ionescu faced off against Steph Curry during the 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend and when asked about a 2-on-2 matchup with Curry and Klay Thompson, she quickly named Clark as her ideal partner.

“I mean, if I had to choose, I’d take Caitlin Clark on my team,” Ionescu said during an appearance on B1G Tailgate—a college football pregame show on the Big Ten Network—during its Week 11 episode from Oregon’s campus.

Although Curry won last year’s three-point shooting competition, Ionescu impressed by shooting from the NBA three-point line. Talks about bringing back the event for this year have been circulating.

In April, ESPN’s Shams Charania hinted at a possible matchup between Stephen Curry and Sabrina Ionescu for the next year, with Caitlin Clark and potentially Klay Thompson joining for a 2v2 game.

Caitlin Clark’s shooting stats

Caitlin Clark had an impressive debut season with the Indiana Fever, setting records and winning Rookie of the Year. As the NCAA’s all-time leading scorer, she continued her success in the pros, averaging 19.2 points per game.

ESPN reports that Clark made 122 three-pointers out of 355 attempts during the 2024 regular season, while Ionescu recorded 107 three-pointers in the same period.
