Oregon Love Endures as Sabrina Ionescu Shares Heartfelt 4-Word Message for Ex-Teammate Satou Sabally’s Unrivaled Reunion

Although the Unrivaled League is new, the excitement of rivals becoming teammates and teammates turning into rivals in just two weeks is even cooler. The reunions are the standout story, led by the dynamic duo of Sabrina Ionescu and Satou Sabally from the Oregon Ducks.

From 2017 to 2020, Ionescu and Sabally were a dominant force in college basketball. Their chemistry on the court was undeniable, with Sabrina’s leadership complementing Satou’s scoring abilities perfectly. Unfortunately, their senior season was cut short due to the pandemic.

After being drafted in the 2020 WNBA Draft, Ionescu went to the New York Liberty and Sabally to the Dallas Wings. Their connection from college remains strong, and now they are both playing for Phantom BC in Unrivaled’s inaugural season.

The reigning WNBA Champion joining the league as a wildcard adds to the excitement of their reunion on the court. Fans are thrilled, and the players are equally pumped.

During media day, Ionescu shared a heartfelt moment with her college teammate, Sabally, on Instagram, captioning a photo of the two hugging, “Back with my girly.” Sabally reposted it with white hearts.

With the Wings star potentially entering free agency, fans dream of a possible reunion between Ionescu and Sabally in the Liberty. However, as thrilling as it may sound, it’s unlikely to happen.

And it’s not just Sabrina and Satou reuniting in Unrivaled, there are other iconic reunions taking place as well.

Unrivaled’s other iconic reunions

For example, the Laces Club team includes players from the Aces squad like Jackie Young, Tiffany Hayes, Kate Martin, and Kayla McBride. The Vinyl Club, on the other hand, mixes old connections with fresh vibes, bringing together players from various WNBA teams. The Mist Club sees former teammates reuniting once again to compete in Unrivaled.

Mark your calendars for January 17th as Unrivaled promises to bring exciting stories, reunions, and a lot of fun for fans to enjoy.
