Sonia Citron for All-WNBA & WNBA All-Defensive Team 👜 https://t.co/LlSEoZv0ia

What happened: Citron is getting a late postseason push for both All-WNBA and the league's All-Defensive Team. The push lands days after she won FIBA World Cup gold with the U.S. and after a Sept. 17 status update listed her out.

Why it matters: Recognition in both votes would place Citron in two of the WNBA's top postseason honors conversations at once. It would also extend the momentum from her USA call-up for the 2026 FIBA World Cup into the league's awards season.

What to watch: The next markers are postseason honors voting and her availability after that Sept. 17 out designation.
