The WNBA is adding a new twist to the format of its 2022 All-Star Game in Chicago.
The league announced three new rules for the annual game with hopes of providing more exhilaration and an increased pace of play. New rules include a four-point shot, a 20-second shot clock and automatic points for free throw attempts.
With four-point shots, four circles—with two at each end of the court—will be placed above the three-point line. Players who convert shots that are in contact with the four-point circle will receive four points.
The typical 24-second shot clock will be reduced to 20 seconds.
