It will be the fourth time Bryant graced the cover and the second time since his death in 2020. Ionescu will be the fourth WNBA star who has been on the cover in three years after Candace Parker debuted in 2021 and Diana Taurasi and Sue Bird in 2022.
“It’s a pretty humbling experience,” Ionescu told The Athletic. “Just knowing that I stand for a lot more than just representing my team and the league, but also just continuing to inspire the youth, and knowing that a lot of kids that are gonna play this game will one day dream to be on the cover as well. That’s really what’s important to me and what I want my legacy to be.”
Ionescu is averaging 14.9 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game this season for the 12-4 Liberty. She is coming off her first WNBA All-Star appearance in 2022.
