It’s the midpoint of the WNBA season, which means it’s time for All-Star Weekend.
The WNBA All-Star Weekend is a two-day affair that begins tonight, July 18, with the 3-point contest and skills challenge.
The 3-point contest pits five players against each other to test their accuracy with shooting threes. Each player will shoot from five racks spaced evenly around the 3-point line. Each rack has five balls with either a 1-point or 2-point value assigned to them. Two of the five slated to take part in the 3-point contest, Allisha Gray and New York’s Sabrina Ionescu, are past winners.
There’s never been a two-time winner of the skills challenge, so defending champion Gray could make WNBA history tonight. Each player will have to complete three passes (bounce, chest and outlet) and three jumpers (elbow jumper, corner 3 and an above-the-break 3).
- When: July 18, 8 p.m. ET
- Where: Gainbridge Fieldhouse (Indianapolis)
- Channel: ESPN
- Streaming:DIRECTV (try it free)
Between the collective bargaining agreement and an additional prize from Aflac and the WNBA Players’ Association, the skills challenge winner will go home with $57,575. The 3-point contest winner will take home $60,000.
