There might be no Stephen Curry-Sabrina Ionescu rematch in spite of everything. Curry and Ionescu starred on All-Star Saturday night in Indianapolis last year with a first-of-its-kind, 3-point shootout between them, narrowly won by Curry. But the two will not run it back during this weekend’s festivities in San Francisco, league sources told The Athletic. In a press release, NBA spokesman Mike Bass stated, “We weren’t in a position to land on a plan we thought would increase the bar off of final 12 months’s particular second. All of us agreed to not proceed and can as a substitute maintain the deal with All-Star Sunday’s new format.”
