Caitlin Clark will not compete in the 2026 WNBA 3-point contest on July 24, having declined her invitation. The Indiana Fever star's decision follows a pattern, as she also turned down an invitation as a rookie in 2024 and missed the event last year due to injury. Clark will participate in the All-Star Game on July 25, where she will captain Team Spoon after receiving over 1 million fan votes. The absence of Clark, along with other notable players like Sabrina Ionescu and Kayla McBride, leaves the contest notable for its lack of star power.
