Sabrina Ionescu was thrilled to be part of Unrivaled — the new 3-on-3 league.
The Liberty star guard who helped New York win the first championship in franchise history earlier this year signed a historic agreement on Monday with the league. She’ll join the Phantom BC that made a trade Saturday night to acquire Natasha Cloud.
“It was a huge decision getting me to play or not,” Ionescu said in a phone interview Monday night. “I weighed out all my options and decided to do what’s best for me and my career. Being able to take part in a league that is the first of its kind with a historic deal and be on the ownership side of it is important for me.”
