New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu set an all-time record during the WNBA's 3-point contest on Friday as part of All-Star Weekend.
Ionescu's display in Vegas wasn't exactly surprising given how elite she's been from long distance during the ongoing campaign. After shooting 35% or below from deep in her first three seasons, the Oregon product is hitting her 3s at a 44.6% clip this year on 7.6 attempts. Both the percentage and volume are current career-high figures.
It's Ionescu's first win in the contest and she ends a two-year winning streak held by Chicago Sky's Allie Quigley, who won in 2021 and 2022. Ionescu had won the Skills Challenge competition in 2022. The 25-year-old Ionescu will now compete in the WNBA All-Star Game as part of Team Breanna Stewart's squad, which will tip-off at 8:30 p.m. ET/5:30 p.m. PT on Saturday, July 15.
