The New York Liberty earned a convincing 98-84 win over the Indiana Fever on Tuesday night, improving to 16-6 on the season. With Caitlin Clark still out injured, Kelsey Mitchell stepped up for Indiana with a game-high 29 points, but the Liberty controlled the game behind Jonquel Jones\u2019 18-point effort. Sabrina Ionescu had an unusually quiet scoring night with 13 points, but she made her impact felt by dishing out a game-high nine assists.<\/p>\n

After the final buzzer, Morant and Ionescu shared a moment, swapping their signature sneakers courtside. With both athletes having their own Nike signature lines, the gesture was a show of mutual respect.<\/p>\n

Fans on social media were quick to react to the clip shared by the Liberty.<\/p>\n
