Brooklyn has to make room for a new star and her name is Sabrina Ionescu. The New York Liberty drafted the record-setting Oregon guard with the first pick in the 2020 WNBA Draft and Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant took to Twitter to welcome her.
The Liberty and Nets share an owner—Joe Tsai—and an arena—Barclays Center. Both teams boast serious star power. Durant is flanked by Kyrie Irving after their groundbreaking move to Brooklyn in 2019 free agency.
By way of the draft, the Liberty have their own superstar.
