Sabrina Ionescu, who earlier Friday night was taken with the first overall pick in the WNBA draft, announced she has signed a shoe deal with Nike. The deal is a multi-year agreement, according to ESPN's Nick DePaula.
Ionescu—who was a three-time first-team All-American selection and is the only player in college basketball history to finish with at least 2,000 career points, 1,000 rebounds and 1,000 assists—was also being pitched by competing brands Under Armour and Puma. Two-time NBA MVP Steph Curry, who has a signature shoe with Under Armour, was helping lead the recruiting efforts to try and convince Ionescu to join him.
