Raiders free-agent center Hroniss Grasu and New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu were married last weekend.

The longtime couple met as football and basketball stars at the University of Oregon. They were married in Laguna Niguel, California.

Among the guests were Vanessa Bryant and her daughter, Natalia. The late Kobe Bryant was a mentor to Ionescu, one of the WNBA’s marquee players.

Grasu has been in the Raiders’ organization since 2021, either on the practice squad or the active roster. He has played in a backup role.
