TORONTO — Toronto Tempo guard Marina Mabrey will compete in the WNBA’s three-point contest at All-Star Weekend in Chicago on Friday. Mabrey is enjoying a career year this season, leading the Tempo with 21.6 points per game to earn honours as the expansion franchise’s first all-star. She tied the WNBA single-game record with 53 points in a win over the Los Angeles Sparks last month, knocking down 9-of-18 from three-point range. The 29-year-old American also leads the WNBA with 82 made three-pointers while shooting 39.2 per cent from beyond the arc. Mabrey also competed in the three-point contest as a member of the Connecticut Sun in 2024, won by Atlanta Dream guard Allisha Gray. Four-time all-star Rhyne Howard of the Atlanta Dream, No. 1 overall draft pick Azzi Fudd of the Dallas Wings, Canadian Bridget Carleton of the Portland Fire, Natisha Hiedeman of the Seattle Storm and Janelle Salaun of the Golden State Valkyries will also compete in the 2026 event. “Marina’s ability to stretch the floor changes the game every time she steps on the court,” said Tempo general manager Monica Wright Rogers in a statement. “She’s one of the most efficient deep range shooters in basketball, and this selection is another well-deserved recognition of the incredible season she’s having. We can’t wait to see her represent Toronto on one of the league’s biggest stages.” This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 21, 2026. The Canadian Press
