Records in professional sports are milestones to be surpassed; highlighting the amazing exploits that players are capable of. Sabrina Ionescu recently surpassed Stephen Curry‘s 3-point shooting record during the All-Star weekend. Ionescu, a player for the New York Liberty and a rising star in the WNBA, is swiftly establishing herself as a record-breaking athlete.

Her most recent successes have sparked debates both on and off the court while also demonstrating her tremendous abilities. Fans booed the player, though, when she was associated with a contentious call in a recent WNBA game.

Controversy amid victory

During Saturday’s intense clash between New York Liberty & Minnesota Lynx, an incident involving Ionescu drew both attention and controversy. In the fourth quarter of the game, Ionescu executed a drive past the Lynx’s defense, attempting a shot that unfortunately missed its mark. As the ball neared the out-of-bounds area, a Minnesota Lynx rookie attempted to save it.

Ionescu, with swift reflexes, tried to collect the ball, inadvertently colliding with the rookie, 22YO Diamond Miller, in this process. This collision resulted in Miller losing her balance and crashing into a cameraman seated behind the hoop.

Surprisingly, the referees did not officially address Ionescu’s actions, allowing the game to continue without interruption. This decision generated a wave of reactions from fans, particularly in Minnesota. The away fans voiced their dissatisfaction by booing Ionescu throughout the remainder of the game. The incident, while not penalized in-game, sparked discussions about player conduct, and safety concerns. It also raised questions on the impact of such occurrences on the overall atmosphere of the match.

Sabrina Ionescu brought her inner Stephen Curry

Ionescu’s talent was on full display during the game against the Phoenix Lynx. Known for her remarkable shooting skills, she put up an impressive performance, scoring 18 points solely from beyond the three-point line. As a testament to her prowess, she showcased her long-range accuracy and contributed significantly to her team’s victory.
