Steph Curry’s Silent Acknowledgment of Ionescu’s Epic Game SPEAKS VOLUMES – Fans Can’t Help but Speculate this!

The WNBA playoffs have been nothing short of thrilling, and Sabrina Ionescu took center stage on Tuesday night as the New York Liberty punched their ticket to the semifinals. Facing elimination, the Atlanta Dream couldn’t find answers for Ionescu’s brilliance as she powered the Liberty to a 91-82 victory in Game 2, completing a 2-0 sweep of the first-round series. Her 36-point explosion, coupled with nine assists and three steals, left no doubt that the Liberty guard is built for big moments.

This performance wasn’t just another win for the Liberty. It was a statement from Ionescu, a three-time All-Star, that she’s ready to take her team deep into the playoffs. Shooting 12-of-23 from the field and connecting on five three-pointers, Ionescu carried her team on her back, propelling New York to the semis. And it wasn’t just WNBA fans watching-NBA superstar Steph Curry also took note.

Sabrina Ionescu Talks About Competing Against Steph Curry in the 3-Point Contest With No Boundaries

Curry, who has long been connected to Ionescu through their shared love for long-range shooting, gave a quiet yet significant nod to her performance. Rather than making a flashy social media post, the Golden State Warriors legend simply reposted a Bleacher Report highlight of Ionescu’s game. It was a subtle gesture, but one that spoke volumes about the respect Curry has for Ionescu, who is fast becoming one of the most feared shooters in basketball-NBA or WNBA.

Ionescu proves she’s ready for the big stage, earning Curry’s respect ahead of Semifinals

Their connection isn’t new. Earlier this year, the two sharpshooters went head-to-head during the 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend in a three-point contest. While Curry ultimately came out on top, Ionescu made it clear that she could go toe-to-toe with the best shooter in NBA history. That same shooting prowess was on full display against the Dream, cementing her as one of the elite guards in the WNBA.

As Ionescu and the Liberty prepare for the semifinals, their next opponent remains uncertain. The Las Vegas Aces, the reigning champions, are just one win away from advancing to meet New York in a rematch of the 2023 Finals. Whether it’s Las Vegas or Seattle, Ionescu has proven she’s ready for the challenge ahead, and with Curry’s subtle nod of approval, her star continues to rise.
