"New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu has signed with the Unrivaled 3-on-3 league, it was announced Monday," Andrews wrote. "The deal 'puts her in a category of her own' among the women participating in the new league, sources told ESPN on Monday."It has been reported that Unrivaled's average player salary is $222,222 this season, but that each player will not receive an equal salary.
While it's unknown just how much Ionescu is getting paid, this ESPN report makes it clear that Unrivaled was willing to break the bank to bring the superstar and 2024 WNBA champion on board. Ionescu will be joining the Phantom, where she’ll be playing alongside former University of Oregon teammate Satou Sabally, Connecticut Sun standout Marina Mabrey, Phoenix Mercury center Brittney Griner, Mercury guard Natasha Cloud, and Indiana Fever forward Katie Lou Samuelson.Grant Young covers Women’s Basketball, the New York Yankees, and the New York Mets for Sports Illustrated’s ‘On SI’ sites.
