Toronto Tempo star guard Marina Mabrey was selected to participate in the three-point contest as part of the 2026 WNBA all-star festivities.
Mabrey, who will be making her first career All-Star Game appearance, leads the league in three-pointers made with 82.
Joining Mabrey in the competition will be Rhyne Howard of the Atlanta Dream, Canadian Bridget Carleton of the Portland Fire, No. 1 overall pick of this past WNBA draft Azzi Fudd of the Dallas Wings, Seattle Storm guard Natisha Hiedeman and Golden State Valkyries forward Janelle Salaün.
Earlier this season, Mabrey tied the WNBA single-game scoring record going for 53 points against the Los Angeles Sparks on June 25. In that contest she also tied the WNBA record for most three-pointers made in a game with nine.
Caitlin Clark, Sabrina Ionescu and Kayla McBride all declined invitations to participate in the three-point contest, according to a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity to the AP because they weren't authorized to speak publicly about it.
Last year Ionescu topped Allisha Gray to win the title.
The new CBA will give the 3-point contest winner $20,000 and each participant $10,000.
The 2026 WNBA all-star weekend is being held in Chicago. The three-point contest is part of the Skills Night taking place on Friday. The actual All-Star Game goes on Saturday with Mabrey suiting up for Team Cynthia Cooper as a reserve.
