The espnW Virtual Summit NYC will welcome former Oregon women’s basketball standout, the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA Draft and the newest member of the WNBA’s New York Liberty, Sabrina Ionescu, to the espnW virtual stage. Ionescu will join SportsCenter anchor Hannah Storm for the espnW Keynote Conversation on Thursday, May 28. The espnW Summit NYC runs from 2 – 5:30 p.m. ET and registration is free.
Ionescu is the only NCAA Division I basketball player to reach 2,000 points, 1,000 assists and 1,000 rebounds in a career and set the all-time record for career triple-doubles with 26, more than twice the total of any other player in men’s or women’s college basketball history. In March, she was named the unanimous Associated Press women’s basketball player of the year, the first player to receive all 30 votes from the AP since 2016 (Breanna Stewart, UConn).
