What are Sabrina Ionescu's salary details with New York Liberty? Contract, duration & more

Sabrina Ionescu's salary this season isn't very impressive. She makes only $86,701, which makes her one of the lowest-paid players in the WNBA. Considering that she's been in the league for only three years, this comes as no surprise since she's still on a rookie-scale contract.

However, Ionescu's contract extension will skyrocket her salary and her net worth next season. The 25-year-old guard signed a contract extension with the New York Liberty just a few days before the 2023 WNBA season tipped off.

Thanks to her extension, Sabrina Ionescu's salary will exceed $200,000 next season. The talented player signed a two-year deal worth $410,060 and will stay with New York's WNBA team until 2025.
