LOS ANGELES -- The participants for the Skills Challenge and the Three-Point Contest for All-Star Friday night have been named. And a member of the Los Angeles Sparks will be putting up shots behind the arc.
FULL LIST of 3-point contest participants, per the WNBA:

Caitlin Clark, Allisha Gray, Sabrina Ionescu, Kelsey Plum, Sonia Citron
Skills Challenge participants:
Natasha Cloud, Skylar Diggins, Allisha Gray, Erica Wheeler, Courtney Williams
Gray is the defending champ of both
Plum, who will also play in the All-Star Game on Saturday, also participated in the 2022 three-point contest but didn't get past the first round. It's going to be a tough competition. Sabrina Ionescu set the record by scoring a jaw-dropping 37 points (only missing two of 27 shots) in the 2023 contest. Caitlin Clark hasn't shot well this season (.289 from deep) but she can get on fire and will be in front of her home crowd. Sonia Citron is shooting .363 from behind the arc. And Allisha Gray is .389 from three and the defending champion.
The Skills Challenge is an obstacle course involving dribbling, passing, and shooting. Everyone is a first-time participant except for Gray, who is also the defending champion in this event.
All-Star Friday happens in Indianapolis on Friday, 8 PM ET/5 PM PT. People can watch it on ESPN.
