Rookie standout Sonia Citron will join Caitlin Clark on the court againâthis time as teammates at the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game in Indianapolis. The Washington Mystics guard was selected as a reserve by Clark during the recent All-Star draft, setting up a reunion that stretches back to their days on the FIBA U19 World Cup team.
Clark, who was named an All-Star captain for the second straight year, drafted Citron as reserve, after securing her Indiana Fever teammates Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell, as well as Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu and Las Vegas Acesâ three-time MVP, Aâja Wilson.
âYeah, Iâm excited,â Citron said on the Between the Lines podcast with WNBA legend Lisa Leslie. âI think weâre young, we got a bunch of shooters, a little bit of everything. Just really excited to play with Caitlin, with Sabrina [Ionescu], with all the people on our teamâŠI have played with Caitlin beforeâŠwe both made the U19 World Cup team,â she added.
Citronâs performance in her rookie campaign has drawn attention. The 21-year-old is averaging 14.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game, helping Washington to a 10-10 record. The Mystics currently sit third in the Eastern Conference and seventh overall in the WNBA standings.
