MANILA, Philippines—American basketball star Sabrina Ionescu is all for having a four-point line in the WNBA.

During her Manila Tour, Ionescu found out that the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) has a four-point line, which the league implemented in August last year.

Ionescu, a renowned shooter, thinks having a four-point shot will add excitement to the WNBA.

“I didn’t know that. I think we need to bring that to the WNBA. That’s exciting,” said the New York Liberty guard.

“It’s an exciting part of the game. I think it changes the game, continuing to push people to want to be better, to shoot from there so that’s really exciting. I think that’s kind of the fun part of basketball, you can continue to improve and change it,” she added.

The use of a four-point line raised eyebrows in the PBA but Ionescu feels it’s something she could thrive in.

“I would love it. I definitely know I would enjoy it,” the 27-year-old Ionescu said.

“I mean, everyone’s shooting more threes. Everyone’s playing faster basketball. Posts are stepping outside and playing from behind the line so I think it would be awesome to be able to see that at some point kind of evolve our game as well.”

Ionescu’s no stranger to launching long-range bombs.

From her journey as a standout at University of Oregon to New York, the three-point shot has been her calling card. In fact, she even went up against Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry in a three-point shootout in last year’s NBA All-Star Weekend.
