New York Liberty Superstar Sabrina Ionescu Caught Unnecessary Low-Blow Shot Amid Caitlin Clark Criticism
Much has been made of Caitlin Clark and her behavior during games, and now Sabrina Ionescu is catching heat because of it.
The New York Liberty guard is being put under a microscope after she visibly showed her frustration in a game against the Minnesota Lynx.
One 13-second video posted to X shows Sabrina Ionescu turning the ball over after dribbling to the basket, but then she turns to a teammate and starts yelling at her.
With 20 seconds to go in the game, Ionescu gets open for a three-pointer but then airballs as the team was down six.
The caption on the video mentions her temper and how Caitlin Clark would’ve been blasted if she had done something similar.
If Caitlin Clark was yelling at her teammates and airballed a 3 in the clutch, this app would not have stopped talking about it for a month 🤷♂️

This is less about Sabrina Ionescu and more about Caitlin Clark and how she got blasted for showing frustration with her teammate Kristy Wallace during the Indiana Fever’s narrow 88-87 loss to the Chicago Sky.
Clark is seen calling for the ball, but Wallace takes a shot that ends up going in. However, Clark’s visible frustration does not end as she appeared to stare at her afterwards.
Clark’s anger likely has a lot to do with her leading the league in turnovers, which has a ton to do with her teammate’s inability to catch the basketball.
Sabrina Ionescu Further Became A Household Name After 3-Point Challenge Against Stephen Curry
New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu was a known player in the WNBA, but she certainly gained a ton more notoriety after she competed against Curry in a 3-point shooting contest at NBA All-Star weekend.
Curry is a two-time winner of the NBA’s 3-point challenge, and Ionescu won the 3-point contest at the WNBA All-Star Game in Las Vegas.
Curry caught fire just in time during that matchup and defeated Sabrina Ionescu in the first-ever NBA vs. WNBA 3-Point Challenge, per ESPN.
SABRINA IONESCU.
26 POINTS.

Like any celebrity power couple, there have been plenty of rumors about a breakup between Grammy Award-winning singer Taylor Swift and her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs superstar tight end Travis Kelce.
There aren’t any legitimate signs or hints that trouble is brewing between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. But it doesn’t take much these days for fans and media outlets to speculate about power couple breakups.
Well, recent activity from Swift herself on Instagram should quiet any rumors about a potential breakup with the three-time Super Bowl champion…for now.
Chariah Gordon, the girlfriend of Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman, streamed the club’s Super Bowl 58 championship ring ceremony via Instagram video. Swift was overseas in Liverpool for a concert during the event, but she stayed up super late to watch and comment on the special festivities:
