The NBA has announced that the 3-point shooting rematch between Golden State Warriors star guard Stephen Curry and New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu has been called off.

ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania reported the news on social media.

NBA-WNBA shootout with Stephen Curry and Sabrina Ionescu is off. NBA's Mike Bass: "We weren't able to land on a plan we thought would raise the bar off of last year's special moment. We all agreed not to proceed and will instead keep the focus on All-Star Sunday's new format."
