Sonia Citron scored her 1,000th career point during Washington's game against the Portland Fire on Thursday night, becoming the youngest guard in WNBA history to reach the milestone.
What happened
Citron hit the 1,000-point mark in Thursday's matchup with Portland, adding a historic milestone to a season that has already turned heads across the league. The moment comes just weeks after she earned Associated Press WNBA Player of the Week honors in June.
Why it matters
Reaching 1,000 career points as the youngest guard in league history underscores the speed of Citron's rise. The milestone caps a stretch that has also included an Eastern Conference Player of the Week honor and a selection as a 2026 All-Star reserve.
By the numbers
Citron is now the youngest player in Mystics franchise history to reach 1,000 career points. She also ranks as the third-fastest player to hit the mark, placing her rapid scoring pace among an elite group in league history.
What's next
Washington continues out its remaining schedule before Citron heads to Chicago for the July 25 All-Star Game, where she will represent the Mystics as an All-Star reserve.
