The 2026 WNBA All-Star break is here, and all eyes are on one of the league’s biggest superstars, Caitlin Clark.
Indiana's superstar guard arrives at the midway point averaging a career-high 21.0 PPG, earning her third consecutive All-Star selection since being drafted first overall in 2024. After being forced to miss last year’s game due to injury, Clark is expected to take the floor as the captain of Team Spoon on Saturday, July 25, at the United Center in Chicago.
As one of the game's 3-point specialists, Clark is consistently linked to the 3-Point Contest as well, which takes place on Friday, July 24, at 8:00 p.m. ET.
Let's look at if Caitlin Clark will play in the WNBA All-Star Game and/or 3-Point Contest, while highlighting projections for WNBA All-Star Weekend on PrizePicks.

Is Caitlin Clark Playing in the WNBA All-Star Game?
Caitlin Clark will start and captain Team Spoon in the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game, tipping off on Saturday, July 25, at 8:30 p.m. ET in Chicago.
The Indiana Fever superstar finished second in fan voting behind Wings G Paige Bueckers, with the two guards named captains of their respective teams. Clark will be joined in the starting lineup by Fever C Aliyah Boston, reigning MVP C A'ja Wilson, Rookie of the Year favorite G Olivia Miles, and league triple-double leader F Jessica Shepard.
Clark arrives at this year's All-Star Game fresh off one of the best stretches of her young career. The 24-year-old is the most recent recipient of Eastern Conference Player of the Week honors, having averaged 25.0 PPG over a three-game stretch that included the only 45-point, 10-assist game in WNBA history.
Clark and Team Spoon enter Saturday's WNBA All-Star Game as clear favorites, with a 1.63x payout to win on PrizePicks Team Picks, compared to Team Coop's 2.17x payout to win. Plus, Clark currently has 16.5 projected points for the WNBA All-Star Game listed as a Goblin on PrizePicks, while 19.5 projected points is a Demon for Saturday's contest.

Will Caitlin Clark Compete in the 3-Point Contest?
Caitlin Clark will not be taking part in the 2026 WNBA 3-Point Contest on Friday evening, having officially declined her invitation. She declined a 3-point contest invitation in 2024 and was set to participate in 2025 but was absent due to injury.
Clark's 34.5% 3-point percentage at the All-Star break is on pace to snap her 34.4% career high set in 2024. Further, she drained 48.1% of her 3-point attempts in the final three games before the break. Clark ranks third in the league with 7.6 3-point attempts per game, too.
One of the WNBA's prolific shooters will be absent from the 3-Point Contest once again.
Other elite shooters, Liberty G Sabrina Ionescu and Lynx G Kayla McBride, were rumored to have turned down invitations as well. Ionescu has since claimed she was never invited, while McBride said she received a "half-ass invite."
Here's a full list of the participants for Friday's WNBA 3-Point Contest with their payouts to win the contest on PrizePicks Team Picks:
WNBA fans will have to wait for Clark's prolific shooting in the WNBA All-Star Game taking place on Saturday night.
