Sabrina Elaine Ionescu is a professional basketball player for the New York Liberty. She was drafted 1st overall in the 2020 WNBA Draft. Ionescu is considered one of the greatest college basketball players in the Oregon Ducks’ history, where she went to college. This can be attributed to many factors, like her record of the highest triple-doubles in NCAA Women’s basketball history or the fact that she was the Naismith College Player of the Year in 2020. Apart from these, she also won the Wade Trophy twice (2019 and 2020), won the Nancy Lieberman Player of the Year thrice (2018, 2019 and 2020), was the NCAA season assists leader (2020) and also won the McDonald’s All-American game MVP award.

Born to Dan Ionescu and Liliana Blaj, Ionescu upheld her illustrious college record coming into the WNBA as she showed her caliber right off by averaging 18.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game in her rookie season in 2020. She has managed to reduce her turnovers from 4.3 turnovers per game in her rookie season to just 2.8 turnovers per game in the 2023 season.

Ionescu has been a 3-time All-Star in her brief 4-year career as of July 2024. She is also the 3-point shootout champion as well as the WNBA skills champion. She is currently also named into the 2024 women’s basketball Olympics team alongside fellow players A’Ja Wilson and Chelsea Gray.
