Still, it would have Indiana Pacers ties if they could utilize Caitlin Clark's star power during the festive event. However, the Fever star said no to the NBA. Last season, Golden State Warriors Stephen Curry beat WNBA's New York Liberty Sabrina Ionescu in a one-on-one 3-point shootout.

Two-time All-Star guard Kelsey Mitchell opted to reunite with Clark by re-upping with the franchise that drafted her No. 2 overall in 2018.

The WNBA is looking to capitalize on the unprecedented attention it received last year with record attendance at games and record television ratings. With the addition of Ms. Clark, the first overall pick, the Fever led the WNBA in attendance with an average of just under 17,000 and 10 of Indiana’s games set league TV viewership records.
