Notre Dame guard Sonia Citron sidelined by minor foot surgery
In a summer team photo head coach Niele Ivey tweeted out on Friday, proclaiming “an amazing week of workouts,” Notre Dame sophomore guard Sonia Citron is on crutches with her left foot in a protective boot.
A team spokesperson clarified that Citron recently underwent minor surgery on her left big toe and is expected to be out of the boot in about a month.
The ACC Freshman of the Year averaged 11.8 points and 6.6 rebounds last season for the Irish, while shooting .449 from the field, .341 from the arc and .843 from the free-throw line. She was second on the team in steals with 54.
The 6-foot-1 Eastchester, N.Y., product played in all 33 games for the Irish in 2021-22, starting 16 of them. The Irish were 24-9 last season, reaching the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.
Also in the team picture is former Notre Dame men’s basketball standout Demetrius Jackson. He stopped by for the day on Friday to help the team with some shooting drills.
Jackson is a former second-round draft pick of the Boston Celtics. The former NBA player also had stints with Houston and Philadelphia. His most recent pro basketball experience came in 2021 with Joventut Badalona in Spain.
