Caitlin Clark OFFICIALLY declined nba all star 3 point contest invite
Caitlin Clark has formally declined an invitation to be part of a male vs. female 3-point contest at next month’s NBA All-Star Game, preferring to make her 3-point shooting debut at the WNBA All-Star Game at her home arena in July.
“Caitlin will not be at NBA All-Star,’’ her representatives at Excel Sports Management said in a statement Wednesday. “She wants her first three-point contest to be at WNBA All-Star in Indianapolis this summer.’’
The NBA had asked the Fever guard to be part of a battle-of-the-sexes shooting contest in San Francisco’s Chase Center that purportedly would have included Sabrina Ionescu and Stephen Curry —who went head-to-head to rave reviews at last year’s NBA All-Star Game in Indianapolis. The league believed Clark’s involvement would have had mass appeal but her preference became to wait for the WNBA event at Gainbridge Arena.
