How much prize money did Allisha Gray pocket after winning Skills Challenge and 3-Point Contest? Whopping amount revealed

Atlanta Dream All-Star Allisha Gray raked in quite the moolah after she won both the Skills Challenge and the 3-Point Contest during the WNBA All-Star weekend at the Footprint Center in Phoenix on Friday. Gray won the Skills Challenge by completing the course in a whopping 32.1 seconds in the final round to beat the Phoenix Mercury’s Sophie Cunningham (34.5). She later aced the 3-point competition by defeating New York Liberty's Jonquel Jones in the 3-Point Contest with 22 points.

According to The Athletic's Ben Pickmann, Gray has a windfall of $115,150 (with $110,000 coming from @aflac). To note, her annual salary is $185,000. This would mean that the guard's prize money would be 62.2% of her season-long earnings.

Gray's WNBA compensation for the entire 2024 season now stands at $190,150 with the bonuses earned from her wins so far at the All-Star weekend.

Furthermore, Gray will also make another estimated $2,575 for being an All-Star Game participant on Saturday. That could be more if she manages to win WNBA All-Star MVP.

Speaking to ESPN's Holly Rowe, the guard joked that she wanted to go on a shopping spree and a little golfing after hitting paydirt. Safe to say, she can pretty much splurge on anything after Friday's wins.
