Early Friday morning, hours before she won the WNBA's 3-Point Contest for a second time with a historic 30-point score in the final round, Sabrina Ionescu sat at a podium on the practice court deep inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse and made a surprising admission.

Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu captured her second WNBA 3-point contest title as Caitlin Clark's replacement, Lexie Hull, finishes fourth.

The league’s marquee star couldn’t participate on the court but that didn’t impede the good vibes on display at the first night of All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis.
