New York Liberty have selected Sabrina Ionescu with the first pick in the 2020 WNBA draft. Ionescu, 22, became the first collegiate player – male or female – to record 2,000 points, 1,000 rebounds and 1,000 assists earlier this year. The draft was held virtually because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The WNBA also honoured Gianna Bryant, Alyssa Altobelli and Payton Chester, who all died in a helicopter crash in January with NBA legend Kobe Bryant.
