Steph vs. Sabrina is an NBA vs. WNBA 3-Point Challenge featuring two of the best shooters in professional basketball. It will be played inside Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Saturday, Feb. 17, during the 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend.
“Stephen vs. Sabrina” will follow standard STARRY 3-Point Contest rules. Curry will use NBA basketballs and shoot from the 3-point line, and Ionescu will use WNBA basketballs and shoot from the WNBA 3-point line.
Curry will shoot from the NBA 3-point line with NBA basketballs, and Ionescu will shoot from the WNBA 3-point line with WNBA basketballs.
The shooter with the most points after one round wins.
Ionescu first challenged Curry after scoring 37 of 40 points in the final round of the STARRY WNBA 3-Point Contest at AT&T WNBA All-Star 2023, setting a WNBA and NBA single-round event record. Ionescu won the contest for the first time.
While mic’d up before a game in January, Curry also suggested facing Ionescu in a 3-point challenge to determine the best shooter and “settle this once and for all.”
