What is the AT&T 4-Point Shot, and how will it be used?
The AT&T 4-Point Shot is one of four special rules being introduced exclusively for the 2025 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game, adding a fun twist to the action. Here’s how it works:
- Four circles — two at each end of the court — will be placed 28 feet from the rim, about six feet beyond the standard three-point line.
- Each four-foot circle is designated as the “AT&T 4-Point Shot” area.
- Any shot made by a player with contact inside the 4-point area will count as four points.
- For every 4-point shot made, AT&T will make a donation to foundations supported by the WNBA and selected by players.
