Caitlin Clark, a standout player for the Indiana Fever, absolutely lit up the basketball scene with her stellar debut season in the WNBA. She snagged the WNBA Rookie of the Year award and landed a spot on the All-WNBA First Team. She was also chosen for the WNBA All-Star Game. However, Clark recently sparked debate within the NBA community with her decision regarding the 2025 NBA All-Star Weekend.
The 2025 All-Star Game will be held on February 16, 2025. The Golden State Warriors will host the game at the Chase Center. This marks the fourth time the Warriors have hosted the game. In an unexpected twist, it seems that Clark has decided to sit out the three-point contest, turning down the NBA’s invite, as Tom Friend of the Sports Business Journal reported.
“Caitlin Clark has told the NBA she is disinclined to participate in an All-Star Game 3-point contest next month that could include Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Sabrina Ionescu, sources told SBJ, although indications are the league is still in discussions with Clark’s representatives,” Tom Friend wrote in his recent reports.

Tom Friend pointed out that Clark isn’t really into shooting 3-pointers from a ball rack. Instead, her practice routine focuses on catch-and-shoot 3-pointers and shots taken off the dribble. According to Tom, unless something changes her mind, she will probably pass on the invitation.
Fans Voice Discontent Over Caitlin Clark’s Choice For 2025 All-Star 3-Point Contest
Although Clark could not lead the Fever to the WNBA championship, she made a significant impact on the league. In her debut season, she shattered records for single-season and single-game assists and broke the rookie scoring record. She became the first rookie in league history to achieve an incredible triple-double. However, her recent decision regarding the 2025 NBA All-Star Three-Point Contest shocked fans.
When Clark Report shared the news on X, fans expressed their disappointment, as they wanted Clark to participate in the three-point contest. On the other hand, some believed that her decision was a major blunder.

Caitlin Clark should do the 3 point contest. It would grow her brand and women’s basketball even more. I am disappointed. I was really looking forward to it.
