Sabrina Ionescu had a blunt, six-word message for Caitlin Clark ahead of their matchup this Thursday night.
Clark’s Indiana Fever will host Ionescu’s New York Liberty in their second game of the new season, having lost their opener to the Connecticut Sun in blowout fashion.
The former Iowa Hawkeyes star had a bittersweet debut, scoring 20 points in the 92-71 loss but also committing a historic 10 turnovers. She will hope for a better performance against the Liberty this Thursday but will have her work cut out against Ionescu and Breanna Stewart.
Sabrina Ionescu Is Treating Caitlin Clark’s Home Debut Like She Would Any Other Game
Of course, given that it will be their first showdown, the game has been hyped significantly. However, Ionescu has downplayed the matchup, claiming, “It’s just another game for us” when she spoke to reporters on Tuesday.
“It’s another game for us, to be honest,” she said, per the New York Post. “Like every single arena that we’re going into this year, and every single team that’s coming into ours is gonna be facing record-breaking crowds, and so it’s nothing really new to us.”
Stewart, on the other hand, has admitted the game will be a big one, especially given that it will be a home opener, likely in front of a sellout crowd.
“We have a team that has some new players in this league but have a lot of vets and have a lot of experience,” she offered. “I think that it’s going to be a big game. It’s going to be their home opener and we’ll treat it like that, but we are going to be focused on ourselves.”
Tonight’s game between the Fever and Liberty tips off at 7 PM ET.
