Ionescu, along with other Nike athletes and coaches, will speak at Nike Fort in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City on March 10, 2025. Ionescu will discuss breaking barriers and challenging conventions related to being a woman in a sport traditionally viewed as male-dominated.
A basketball clinic is set to be held in the Courtyard and the official launch of the Nike Sabrina 2 collaboration will also take place.
On March 11, Ionescu and some of the Philippines' top professional and collegiate basketball players will participate in an exhibition game. A three-point shootout challenge will also be held at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.
In addition to the Philippines, Ionescu will also travel to Guangzhou and Hong Kong in China to inspire young female athletes to pursue and realize their dreams in the future.
"I'm excited to connect with basketball fans across Manila, Guangzhou and Hong Kong, especially young hoopers. You can feel their passion for the game, even from New York," said Ionescu. "Together we will celebrate the game, and I hope we inspire each other to achieve our dreams with dedication, commitment and hard work."
