Ionescu Honors Promise, Shares 3-Point Contest Winnings with Rookie Citron INDIANAPOLIS – WNBA star Sabrina Ionescu announced today that she will split her prize money from the recent 3-Point Contest, giving half to rookie participant Sonia Citron. The decision, revealed during a post-event press conference, stems from a promise Ionescu made to Citron prior to the competition. "I told Sonia I would give her half if I won when we were sitting on the bench," Ionescu stated. She elaborated on her admiration for Citron's participation, noting, "That takes a lot of courage to be able to do that as a rookie, and what she did, and I was really proud of her." Ionescu confirmed her commitment to the agreement, adding, "I obviously have to hold up my end of the bargain, so half is going to go to her." The remaining half of the prize money will be directed to Ionescu's personal foundation, supporting its ongoing efforts to contribute to communities. This act highlights a moment of sportsmanship and generosity within the league.
