The WNBA's 3-point contest field is officially set.
The league announced the six contestants for the 3-point contest on Friday during All-Star weekend on Tuesday afternoon. Bridget Carleton, Azzi Fudd, Natisha Hiedeman, Rhyne Howard, Marina Mabrey and Janelle Salaün are set to compete in the event.
According to USA Today's Meghan L. Hall, Caitlin Clark, Kayla McBride and Sabrina Ionescu were all invited to participate but declined. Specifics there are not known.
Ionescu won the 3-point contest last season, and is one of only two multi-time winners in the event's history.
Mabrey and Howard will enter as the favorites in the 3-point contest after what's been a dominant shooting start to the season. Mabrey has averaged 3.3 made 3-pointers per game with the Toronto Tempo while draining 82 3-pointers as of Tuesday night, both of which lead the league. Howard has made 79 3-pointers this season while draining 3.2 per contest.
