Sabrina Ionescu gets super nervous during big-time games, and she showed it on Wednesday.

While profiling Ionescu, Bleacher Report’s Mirin Fader revealed how Ionescu goes through a roller coaster of emotions going into games.

Sabrina Ionescu gets nervous. Too nervous to sleep. Lying in her bed, wrapped in her gray blankets, she’ll try to meditate. Inhale, exhale. Inhale, exhale.

Doesn’t work. She’ll turn over right, then turn over left. Right, left. Right, left.

She hardly sleeps during the season. Especially nights before games.

So she can’t show weakness, even when she feels like vomiting in the hours before tipoff and can’t eat anything. “I’m just super nervous before games,” Ionescu says

During game 4 of the WNBA finals, Ionescu appeared to let her nerves get to her and was seen throwing up on the sidelines.

Ionescu went back on the court and hit a huge three-pointer to cut the lead to one point with less than a minute to go in the game.

Unfortunately, the Liberty went on to lose the game by one point and the Las Vegas Aces won the WNBA championship.
