Caitlin Clark joins stacked WNBA All-Star 3-Point Contest field

Yahoo17-07-2025
Things were already shaping up to be an incredible All-Star weekend for Indiana Fever fans. The game and festivities are in Indianapolis, Caitlin Clark was named a captain and three Fever players made the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game roster.
Fans got even more excited after today's announcement from the WNBA.
The league released the contestants for the 2025 WNBA 3-point Contest at this weekend's All-Star break and it's a star-studded group, including Caitlin Clark. Last season, Clark was invited to do the 3-point contest and declined the offer.
Clark will join the competition this season and look to win in front of her home fans.
Who else is in the WNBA 3-point Contest?
Clark is joined in the competition by Sonia Citron, Allisha Gray, Kelsey Plum and Sabrina Ionescu. This is a stacked group of participants, with Gray winning last years contest and Clark, Plum and Ionescu being well-known for their 3-point shooting prowess.
Here's a look at each participant's 3-point shooting percentages this season and in their careers.
Caitlin Clark: 28.9% this season, 33.2% in her career
Sonia Citron: 36.3% this season, her only season in the WNBA
Allisha Gray: 38.9% this season, 35.2% in her career
Kelsey Plum: 35% this season, 38.6% in her career
Sabrina Ionescu: 30.9% this season, 35.7% in her career
Ever since Clark returned from her injury, she's struggled with her 3-point shot as her percentage has dipped under 29% for the season. Clark's home and road splits have been especially concerning when it comes to her shot.
Clark is shooting 27-for-69 (39.1%) from three in eight home games this season. Clark is 1-of-28 (3.6%) from three in four road games this season. That's a concerning trend that needs to get better if the Fever want to make a run, but Clark will get to compete at home for this competition, which bodes well for her chances.
Clark will have a chance to raise that road 3-point percentage when the Fever wrap up the first half of the season with road games against the Connecticut Sun and New York Liberty.
The game against the Sun is scheduled for Tuesday night at 7 p.m. CT on ESPN. The matchup with the Liberty will be Wednesday night with a 6:30 p.m. tipoff on CBS Sports Network. Hawkeye fans can stay updated on those games right here on Hawkeyes Wire.

Is Caitlin Clark playing today? Indiana Fever vs Chicago Sky

Caitlin Clark has been sidelined with a right groin injury since the final minute of the Indiana Fever's 85-77 July 15 win over Connecticut from TD Garden in Boston. Unfortunately, Fever fans won't be seeing Clark on Sunday afternoon against the Chicago Sky (7-17). The Indy Star's Brian Haenchen reported on Saturday evening that Clark had officially been ruled out against Chicago. Including the WNBA Commissioner's Cup final, it's now the 14th game that Clark will have missed due to injury this season. On Thursday, the Indiana Fever released a statement on Clark's injury status and her progression. "Caitlin Clark underwent further medical evaluations earlier this week, which confirmed that no additional injuries or damage were discovered. "Clark will continue working with the medical team on her recovery and rehabilitation, with the priority on her long-term health and well-being. There is no timetable available for her return," the Fever's statement read. Clark is averaging 16.5 points, 8.8 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game on 36.7% field goal shooting and 27.9% 3-point accuracy. Fans may not get to see Chicago star forward Angel Reese either. Reese (back) is listed as questionable in the availability report released Saturday night. Chicago (7-17) ruled out Ariel Atkins (leg), Moriah Jefferson (leg) and Courtney Vandersloot (knee) for Sunday game's game with Hailey Van Lith (ankle) and Michaela Onyenwere (knee) also listed questionable. Sunday's Fever-Sky game was moved to the United Center earlier this year to accommodate tickets demand. Tipoff is set for 2 p.m. CT on ABC.

Cowboys sign tight end Jake Ferguson to a 4-year, $52 million extension

OXNARD, Calif. (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys signed tight end Jake Ferguson to a four-year, $52 million extension Sunday. The deal includes a $12 million signing bonus. A fourth-round pick in 2022, Ferguson is entering the final year of his rookie deal. He had 59 catches for 494 yards but did not have a touchdown reception last season. The previous year, he posted career highs with 71 catches for 761 yards and five TDs. Ferguson dealt with knee and concussion issues last year but still started 14 games. This deal comes as two-time All-Pro defensive end Micah Parsons remains in negotiations for his own extension, entering the final season of his rookie deal. Parsons said recently he had not seen much progress in those talks. ___

Indiana Fever vs. Chicago Sky: TV channel, time, how to watch

The Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky meet again. The Fever travel to Chicago to take on the Sky for the third time this season. Sunday's highly-anticipated matchup was moved to the United Center, home of the NBA's Chicago Bulls, to accommodate a larger crowd. However, the game between the two teams could be missing some major star power as Fever guard Caitlin Clark and Sky forward Angel Reese have recently been limited by injuries. Clark has missed three consecutive games with a left groin injury, while Reese was ruled out of the Sky's 95-57 blowout loss to the Seattle Storm on Thursday due to her back. Indiana leads the regular season series against the Sky 2-0. The Fever opened the season on May 17 with a dominant 93-58 win over the Sky at home. Clark recorded a triple-double in the win with 20 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, four blocks and two steals. In the second matchup on June 7, Indiana beat the Sky 79-52 in Chicago without Clark. Here's everything you need to know about Sunday's matchup: What time is the Indiana Fever vs. Chicago Sky game? The Chicago Sky will host the Indiana Fever on Sunday, July 27 at 3 p.m. ET at the United Center in Chicago. The game will be broadcast nationally on ABC.
