Sabrina Ionescu, a two-time winner of the WNBA 3-point contest, has denied a report that she turned down an invitation to compete in this year's event. The New York Liberty guard called the claim "false" in a recent statement.
Ionescu, who set a record during her winning performance in 2023, made it clear she did not decline any invitation. The report had suggested she chose not to participate, but Ionescu pushed back, saying the information was inaccurate.
The 3-point contest is a highlight of the WNBA All-Star weekend, and Ionescu has been a standout in previous years. Her record-breaking run in 2023 saw her hit an impressive number of shots, cementing her reputation as one of the league's top shooters.
As the All-Star break approaches, fans are eager to see if Ionescu will take part again. For now, she has set the record straight: she did not say no. The debate over her participation appears to be based on a miscommunication or false report.
Ionescu's denial should put the matter to rest. She remains focused on the season, and her fans will be watching to see what she does next. The WNBA All-Star events are scheduled for later this month.
