In the first four games of the season, Ionescu averaged 15.3 points, four rebounds and six assists. Unfortunately, she’s shooting a career-low 26.7% from beyond the arc.

Nike revealed 2nd signature shoe for Sabrina Ionescu
Sabrina Ionescu is one of the few WNBA stars who have a signature pair of shoes with a shoe brand. She had her first shoe back in 2023 and fans have been waiting for a new pair of her signature shoes to drop. The good news is, that Nike will release the star’s second signature shoe this year.
According to Nick DePaula, the Sabrina 2 is set to release on June 28. The star will debut her pair with a “Court Vision” colorway.
The pair has a dominant purple and black color. The tongue features the “S” logo, which is relevant to the first letter of the star’s first name. In an interview with Boardroom, Ionescu shared what it meant to have her signature shoes.
“Getting your own signature shoe in the WNBA is a big deal, and I understood the magnitude of all of this from the start,” Ionescu wrote.
“There will be more women that follow, and there’s going to be more W signature shoes. Soon.”
The impact of Ionescu having her shoes was felt by the NBA. Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday showed his support for women’s basketball as he was the first player in the league to wear the pair. Other players like Jordan Poole, Mikal Bridges and DaQuan Jeffries followed suit.
