Curry teased the matchup while mic'd up before the Golden State Warriors' contest against the Sacramento Kings. During pregame warmups, Curry asked Warriors rookie Brandin Podziemski if he knew who holds the record for most points in a three-point competition.

"Sabrina?" responded Podziemski.

"Oooh! We’ve got to settle this once and for all. I think I got to challenge her. It’d be lit," said Curry.

The battle between Curry and Ionescu comes roughly six months after the Liberty point guard challenged the Warriors guard to a shootout after winning the 3-point competition at the WNBA's All-Star Weekend. Curry accepted the challenge last July.

Ionescu, who was born in Walnut Creek, California, and went to Miramonte High School in Orinda, California, led the WNBA in 3-pointers during the 2023 season with 128.

Curry entered the Warriors' game on Thursday leading the NBA with 172 3-pointers in 38 contests, and dropped another five in the first quarter against the Kings.

"I love having a relationship with [Curry], just being able to remember when I was little, watching him and kind of emulating my game after him, to now being able to call him or text him any time that I need help with something," Ionescu told ESPN in 2020.
