Friday’s 3-Point Contest lineup is locked, as the WNBA dropped its six-player roster yesterday — with No. 1 draft pick Azzi Fudd representing the lone rookie.
Bridget Carleton (Portland), Natisha Hiedeman (Seattle), Rhyne Howard (Atlanta), Janelle Salaün (Golden State), and Marina Mabrey (Toronto) round out the list.
Dallas’s Fudd ranks 10th with 50 made threes this season, while veteran Mabrey tops the league with 82 threes on a 3.3-per-game average, and Howard sits second with 79 triples at a 3.2-per-game clip.

The two-round competition positions five racks around the arc, with four holding four one-point game balls and one two-point money ball, while the fifth rack holds only two-point balls and two additional three-point balls sit deep.
The two players with the highest first-round scores advance to the winner-takes-all final round.
Caitlin Clark, Sabrina Ionescu Left off 3-Point Lineup
Some fans pushed back on Tuesday, speculating as to why statistical standouts like Indiana’s Kelsey Mitchell (71 threes) and Sophie Cunningham (43.7% 3-point shooting), Minnesota’s Kayla McBride (71 threes), and New York’s Marine Johannes (57 threes) didn’t make the cut.
Per multiple reports, McBride along with Indiana’s Caitlin Clark and New York’s Sabrina Ionescu declined invitations. However, two-time winner Ionescu refuted the claims by commenting “Lies" on a since-deleted B/R W Sports Instagram post.
