Caitlin Clark has declined an invitation to participate in the WNBA 3-Point Contest at All-Star Weekend, which takes place at Wintrust Arena in Chicago on July 22. This decision is not due to injury, but rather her preference against using a ball rack, which differs from her regular shooting practice routine. Clark's shooting percentage ranks 37th among qualified players, and she is seventh in 3-pointers made per game. Last year, she also declined a similar opportunity to compete at the NBA level. The 2026 participants in the event include Rhyne Howard and Marina Mabrey.
