Ionescu and Laney headed to Sydney
Liberty All-Stars to compete at 2022 Women's World Cup
All-Star point guard Sabrina Ionescu and New York Liberty teammate Betnijah Laney were selected Monday to represent Team USA at the 2022 FIBA Women’s World Cup, which will begin in Sydney, Australia this week.
Both Liberty standouts will be representing the U.S. in international competition for the first time after helping New York earn a first-round playoff berth this past season at Downtown’s Barclays Center.
“We have been eagerly anticipating the 2022 FIBA World Cup and welcome the opportunities and challenges this competition presents as we face the world’s best teams,” said Team USA head coach Cheryl Reeve.
