CNN
Sabrina Ionescu had a dream that this was coming.
On Friday, her first game back since a sprained ankle sidelined her for most of her rookie season in 2020, Ionescu hit a game-winning three with less than one second remaining to give the New York Liberty a 90-87 win over the Indiana Fever in the first game of the 25th WNBA season. "I actually -- not going to lie at all -- dreamt about it last night," Ionescu told reporters after the game -- while wearing the Lakers jersey of the late Kobe Bryant, her friend and mentor.More Related News
