The GOAT has returned!
If anybody thought Sabrina Ionescu would be slowed down by last year’s ankle injury, better think again.
Always eager to make the big play, Ionescu made the biggest play of them all as she hit a three-pointer with 0.4 seconds remaining to give her New York Liberty the 90-87 win over the Indianapolis Fever.
Ionescu isn’t a stranger to hitting game-winners as she made a name for herself as a freshman at Oregon when she hit a similar shot to stun California.
Liberty fans are hoping this is just the start of what should be a very special career in the Big Apple. Ionescu’s rookie season was cut short just three games into the 2020 season due to an ankle injury that required surgery.
Now fully healthy, it was complete Sabrina Mode and the Fever were the unfortunate recipients. Ionescu finished the game with 25 points and 11 assists to go with six rebounds.
