Sabrina Ionescu will be helping her collegiate women’s basketball program in a big way.
The former Oregon basketball star, who currently plays for the WNBA’s Liberty, will join the Ducks support staff as the director of athletic culture on a part-time capacity.
Ionescu will be responsible for developing the program’s student athletes and fostering Ducks coach Kelly Graves’s pillars of passion, integrity, unity, thankfulness, and servanthood. Graves said in a statement that there was “no better person” to serve in this role than Ionescu.
“Sabrina [Ionescu] exemplifies what it means to be an Oregon Duck and she represents everything our program is about,” Graves said.
