Azzi Fudd Makes History as First Rookie to Win WNBA 3‑Point Contest

On July 24, 2026, Dallas Wings guard Azzi Fudd became the first rookie in WNBA history to capture the All‑Star 3‑Point Contest. The event was held at Wintrust Arena in Chicago, where Fudd scored 30 points in the final round to defeat Portland Fire forward Bridget Carleton, who managed 19 points. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 draft hit her first six shots and finished 20‑of‑26 overall, tying the second‑highest final‑round total ever recorded. She earned a total prize of $60,000 — $20,000 from the league and $40,000 from Aflac and the WNBPA. After the win, Fudd challenged Stephen Curry, saying, “It’s fun to do because — and I don’t want to sound cocky — but it’s easy to me, just the set shot.” The same night the WNBA Shooting Stars competition was won by Team Washington, featuring Elena Delle Donne, Shakira Austin and high‑schooler Jezelle “GG” Banks.
