Sabrina Ionescu 3-point record tracker: Liberty star on pace to break WNBA single-season mark image

Sabrina Ionescu is on pace to add another shiny accolade to her young WNBA career.

Fans witnessed her insane 3-point shooting skills during the All-Star contest in mid-July. She set the all-time record with a ridiculous 37 out of 40 points made, beating out former contest record holders Steph Curry and Allie Quigley.

It's safe to consider the sharpshooter as the Curry of the WNBA. The pair shared endearment after her initial feat, and now, she's close to making even more history from beyond the arc with her Herculean abilities.

There are 10 games left on the Liberty's 2023 slate and Ionescu is up to 101 3-pointers made on the season.

She's averaging 16.8 points per game, with a 45 percent 3-point shooting average, meaning she has a good shot at becoming the new record holder for most 3s made in a single season, beating out Diana Taurasi.

But just how many does she need to score by the Liberty's final game on Sept. 10 to surpass the icon's mark?
