Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry and New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu are set to compete in a head-to-head 3-point contest, the NBA announced Tuesday.
The competition, billed as "Stephen vs. Sabrina," will be the first-ever NBA vs. WNBA 3-Point Challenge and will take place during State Farm All-Star Saturday Night on Feb. 17 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
Both players are playing for charities, Curry's Eat.Learn.Play and Ionescu’s SI20 Foundation will receive donations from the NBA and WNBA.
Each made 3-pointer during the competition is valued at $1,000, the money ball is worth $2,000, and a 3-pointer called the "STARRY Range Ball" − from 29 feet, nine inches away − is worth $3,000.
Curry, who has won the NBA 3-Point Contest championship twice, will shoot with NBA regulation basketballs from the league's standard three-point line and Ionescu will shoot from the WNBA 3-point line with WNBA basketballs.
Ionescu posted on social media that she was ready to shoot from the NBA line.
Curry is the NBA record holder with 3,577 made 3-pointers and is a two-time NBA MVP and a four-time first-team All-NBA selection.
Last season, Ionescu averaged 17 points, 5.6 rebounds, 5.4 assists, and made 44.8 percent of her three-pointers, helping the Liberty reach the WNBA Finals. She also hit 128 3-pointers, setting a WNBA record.
