The New York Liberty’s celebration of their first WNBA championship took an unexpected and amusing turn when star guard Sabrina Ionescu experienced a cramp while posing with the championship trophy. The incident, which was captured on camera, quickly became a viral sensation, adding a lighthearted twist to the team’s historic victory.
As the Liberty players gathered for their post-game photoshoot, Ionescu, who had played a pivotal role in the team’s success, was front and center with the trophy. Just as the cameras started clicking, Ionescu suddenly winced and grabbed her leg, causing her teammates to burst into laughter.
Despite the brief discomfort, Ionescu quickly recovered and continued to celebrate with her teammates.
