The WNBA may have a communication problem.

Minnesota Lynx star Kayla McBride, like New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu, was forced to set the record straight regarding her absence from the WNBA’s 3-point contest and aired out her thoughts on the WNBA’s "half-a--" invitation.

"Also, for those that are SO concerned. I received a half a-- invite to the 3 pt contest, thru my agent, in a text randomly 48 hours ago..not officially," McBride posted on her Instagram Story on Wednesday.

"Sooo posting things like i’m afraid of shooting smoke is weird and if you didn’t hear it from me prob shouldn’t believe it ," she wrote with a shrug emoji.

She said the attention should instead be on the competition’s participants: Portland Fire’s Bridget Carleton, Dallas Wings’ Azzi Fudd, Seattle Storm’s Natisha Hiedeman, Atlanta Dream’s Rhyne Howard, Toronto Tempo’s Marina Mabrey and Golden State Valkyries’ Janelle Salaün.
