Free of any contract at the end of the 2023 season, Sabrina Ionescu two-year extension with the New York Liberty until 2025. An extension that should net him approximately $202,000 in 2024 and $208,000 in 2025. Salaries slightly below the WNBA maximum salaries for those seasons (208 $219 in 2024, $214,466 in 2025).
“I am grateful and honored to be able to represent the New York Liberty for the next few years” said Sabrina Ionescu. “Owners Joe and Clara Wu Tsai, General Manager Jonathan Kolb and the entire Liberty organization have been nothing short of amazing since I arrived here, and I’m very excited to work to bring a title back to New York “.
Drafted in first position in 2020, the point guard comes out of her best season in the league. Averaging 17.4 points, 7.1 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game, she earned an All-Star selection and then was named to the All-WNBA Second Team.
“We are delighted to announce the extension of Sabrina” said Jonathan Kolb. “His career has already taken off in historic fashion and his will to win is truly unmatched. Sabrina has quickly become synonymous with the Liberty franchise, and we look forward to seeing her continue her success in New York for many years to come.”.
By securing the future of Sabrina Ionescu in the short term before the start of the WNBA season, the New York Liberty can now calmly focus on their quest for the title after the offseason additions of Breanna Stewart, Jonquel Jones and Courtney. Vandersloot.
