Indiana Fever Star Sends Nine-Word Message About WNBA Finals

The New York Liberty and Minnesota Lynx will play Game 5 of the WNBA Finals on Sunday night. Minnesota evened the series at 2-2 with their Game 4 victory. This was an impressive response after New York took Game 3 on a game-winning shot from Sabrina Ionescu.

Ionescu's game-winner was the talk of basketball until Minnesota's response in Game 4. While Ionescu only had 13 points in Game 3, her deep three-point basket with one second remaining put New York one win away from a WNBA championship.

"A shot that will live in history," the WNBA wrote. "Another look at Sabrina Ionescu’s GAME WINNER 🎯"

Reactions from around the basketball world were pouring in after this shot from Ionescu. A delayed response came from Indiana Fever star Temi Fagbenle who caught the game late.

Posting a message on Instagram, Fagbenle wrote, "Just watched Game 3 of the W Finals 🤯🤯🤯🤯 SABRINAAAAAA 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥”

Fagbenle battled numerous injuries this season, appearing in just 22 games for Indiana. While health was an issue for the 6-foot-1 center, her production was incredible when she played.

Averaging 6.4 points and and 4.7 rebounds in just 18.9 minutes per game, Fagbenle also had great chemistry with All-Star rookie Caitlin Clark.

These comments from Fagbenle were from early in the season, and her connection with Clark continued to grow each game they shared the floor.

If Fagbenle can stay healthy, she should have an opportunity next season to build on what was a career year for her statistically.
