After an definitely historical videogame versus the Dallas Wings, Indiana Fever novice guard Caitlin Clark had the basketball bounce in the other instructions when it comes to this year’s WNBA 3-point contest.
After not providing an sign either method on Wednesday and playing coy about it in the previous, Clark did not have her name noted amongst the 5 rivals in Friday’s 3-point contest throughout the 2024 WNBA All-Star Game weekend celebrations when the lineup was exposed on Wednesday night.
Whether that’s a league choice or one that Clark had a part in making, this is simply not what WNBA fans were hoping to discover out with this year’s 3-point contest.
If the league left Clark off on its own accord, that’s really bonkers. If Clark didn’t desire to takepart, that’s another thing entirely and reasonable if she requires a breather before Saturday’s WNBA All-Star Game.
We needto note that New York Liberty superstar guard Sabrina Ionescu and Las Vegas Aces superstar guard Kelsey Plum weren’t noted as rivals, either, so it does make us believe that Clark may’ve chose out from completing, as we’re thinking Ionescu and Plum did.
Just revealed: Caitlin Clark will NOT be gettinginvolved in the 3-Point Contest. For the Fever, Erica Wheeler will be gettinginvolved in the Skills Challenge. pic.twitter.com/EUSb9HmVLm

However, the frustration was palpable from WNBA fans who desired to see Clark complete in the contest this week.
I wear’t understand how you have a 3-point contest without Caitlin Clark or Sabrina Ionescu.
I am baffled by that. That is a MASSIVE missouton to me.
Not even Kelsey Mitchell? Jackie Young?
I’m just going to convince myself that they said no because nothing else makes sense. pic.twitter.com/RUQMUvAdHB
