In an exciting turn of events in the Unrivaled league, the final wild card player has been officially announced: Sabrina Ionescu will be joining Phantom BC! This announcement comes on the heels of a significant trade that reshaped the rosters of several basketball clubs in the league.
Last week, the trade winds blew strong as Laces BC traded star Courtney Williams to Lunar Owls BC in exchange for Natasha Cloud. In a strategic move, the Laces then sent Cloud and the coveted final wild card spot to Phantom BC, acquiring Jackie Young and Tiffany Hayes in return. This set the stage for Sabrina's arrival, as she is set to reunite with her former Oregon Ducks teammate, Satou Sabally, who is the captain of Phantom BC.
The announcement was cleverly teased by Unrivaled through a captivating hint video featuring a duck adorned with the Phantom BC logo. The imagery of the duck walking into a room and coming back out with another duck, this time with a snake, symbolized the reunion of two ducks—Sabrina and Satou—now ready to take the court together for Phantom BC.
Sabrina, who recently underwent surgery to repair a torn UCL in her shooting hand, is expected to recover within four weeks. This timeline means she’ll be preparing just in time for the inaugural season of Unrivaled, which kicks off on Friday, January 17th.
As fans gear up for the season, they're eager to see how the new dynamic at Phantom BC will unfold with Ionescu and Sabally on the same team again. It's an exciting time for basketball enthusiasts, and all eyes will be on Unrivaled as they aim for victory in the upcoming season.
With the season's start approaching, the anticipation is palpable across the league, and fans can’t wait to witness the magic that Sabrina and her fellow players will bring to the court.
