Curry, Ionescu Plan 2025 NBA-WNBA Shootout

The NBA is planning to bring back the popular 3-point shootout featuring Stephen Curry and Sabrina Ionescu at the 2025 All-Star Weekend, potentially expanding the competition to include Klay Thompson and Caitlin Clark. Following the success of the inaugural event in 2024, where Curry narrowly defeated Ionescu, discussions are underway for a 2-on-2 format. Ionescu expressed her interest in partnering with Clark for the contest, highlighting their connection from her college recruitment days. While fans are excited about the return of the event, reactions are mixed regarding Thompson's inclusion, given his recent transfer to the Dallas Mavericks. The All-Star Weekend is scheduled to take place from February 14 to 16 at Chase Center in San Francisco, home of the Warriors. The NBA continues to explore innovative formats to rejuvenate the All-Star Game experience.
