LAS VEGAS — New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu wrote on social media Thursday that her shoes, which had custom-made insoles, were taken from Michelob Ultra Arena.
Ionescu and the Liberty beat the Las Vegas Aces for the Commissioner’s Cup championship Tuesday night at the arena, had Wednesday off and then had shootaround there Thursday morning before an evening game against the Aces.
About half an hour after shootaround ended, Ionescu wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, that her shoes had been taken from the arena. She did not specify when they were taken or where she had last seen them.
“Never thought I would get my shoes stolen from an opposing arena… Please just bring me my insoles back. RIP to my Sabrina 1s,” she wrote.
