MINNEAPOLIS, MN (July 24, 2018)—The WNBA announced today that Las Vegas All-Star guard Kayla McBride is participating in the 2018 WNBA Three-Point Contest this weekend as part of Verizon WNBA All-Star 2018. The contest takes place during halftime of the All-Star Game, which tips at 12:30 pm PT at Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Saturday, July 28, and airs nationally on ABC.

McBride is joined by three other All-Stars in the competition—defending champion Allie Quigley of the Chicago Sky, the Seattle Storm’s Jewell Loyd, and the Washington Mystics’ Kristi Toliver. The six-player field also features the Indiana Fever’s Kelsey Mitchell and the Atlanta Dream’s Renee Montgomery.

The WNBA, in partnership with the Women’s National Basketball Players Association (WNBPA), will acknowledge the players’ work off the court as leaders on social issues and their active engagement with philanthropic efforts. For the second consecutive year, $10,000 will be donated to a charity of the winner’s choice in support of her work in the community.

The charities that participants will represent and compete for are Strong Against Cancer (Loyd); Be A Friend Program, Inc. and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southern Nevada (McBride); Catch the Stars Foundation (Mitchell); YWCA of Charleston West Virginia (Montgomery); The Patrick Quigley Memorial Scholarship (Quigley); and Pender Country Humane Society (Toliver).

McBride is ninth in the WNBA in three-point field goal percentage this season, and is making a career-high 40.9 percent heading into the break. She also ranks eighth in the league in scoring (19.3), 20th in field goal percentage (.463), fourth in free throw percentage (.912), and fifth in minutes played (32.7).

The two-time All-Star has scored in double figures in 22 of 23 games this season, including 21 straight. She poured in a career-high 38 points on 14 of 22 shooting from the field against Dallas on June 27, and dished out a career-high nine assists at Minnesota on July 13.
