Fans see a potential MVP Season from Sabrina Ionescu following the player’s recent video showing her working on Tai Chi technique.

The WNBA’s expansion took another leap as players’ signature shoes and merchandise began to make a buzz in international markets, too.

While she was in the country, the player tested herself with the martial arts defensive technique, Tai chi. As always, the player was completely immersed in her training, and fans reacted to the clip showing part of her workout.

Basketball fans could recall NBA superstar Victor Wembanyama’s famous visit to China, where he joined monks before the regular season tip-off. On return, the player delivered a monstrous season, leading the Spurs to second place in the West.

The connection here is with the WNBA’s other megastar, Ionescu, who recently visited China and was practicing Tai chi. A clip showed the former Oregon star learning and concentrating on the training as she followed every step of the martial art form.

For the 2026 season, the former champion confirmed her free agency decision, which secures the Liberty side’s core for the upcoming season. The franchise took her off the free agency market with a special offer.

New York Liberty Hands Core Qualifying Offer To Sabrina Ionescu

After a 27-17 finish to the 2025 season, the Liberty team is looking to push for the championship again under a new head coach. The priority was to keep its championship core intact. Ionescu, Breanna Stewart, and Jonquel Jones expressed their desire to play for the New York Liberty in the upcoming season, and the franchise also made its intentions clear with a core designation offer for the 28-year-old star.

Despite a few injuries, the 2020 rookie maintained her elite stats and averaged 18+ points in the season with around five assists, six rebounds, and a career high 1.3 steals.

The player would be the key piece in the Liberty’s quest for the championship, but with three players drawing heavy salaries, they need to balance the Salary cap with some shrewd signings.
