WNBA All-Star and former No. 1 overall draft pick Sabrina Ionescu is engaged to longtime boyfriend Hroniss Grasu, who plays center for the Las Vegas Raiders.

Ionescu — the NCAA leader in career triple-doubles and only collegiate player with 2,000 points, 1,000 assists and 1,000 rebounds — is coming off a stellar season in which she was named a WNBA All-Star for the first time while also earning a spot on the All-WNBA second team. Most recently, she helped recruit 2021 MVP Jonquel Jones this offseason to play alongside her on the New York Liberty.
