New York Liberty Injury Report: Will Sabrina Ionescu Play Against Connecticut Sun on August 24?
Sabrina Ionescu's status for the New York Liberty's clash against the Connecticut Sun on August 24 remains uncertain due to a recent injury concern. Read more.
The New York Liberty announced just half an hour before tip-off that Sabrina Ionescu would miss the game against the Dallas Wings. Fortunately for Liberty fans, Ionescu isn’t expected to be out for long. New York Liberty beat reporter Jackie Powell reported that coach Brondello anticipates Ionescu’s return for Saturday’s game against the Connecticut Sun.
Sabrina Ionescu, the New York Liberty guard, was sidelined for Thursday’s game against the Dallas Wings due to a neck injury. Despite her absence, New York secured a hard-fought 79-71 win at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
The three-time All-Star missed only her second game of the season, and her status was updated just before the game. Afterward, Liberty coach Sandy Brondello provided a significant update, indicating that the 26-year-old is expected to return soon.
The New York Liberty currently leads the WNBA standings with a remarkable 25-4 record. Ionescu’s consistent performance has been a major factor in the team's success this season. With the third-best odds of winning the MVP award, she is averaging 19.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, six assists, and one steal after 27 games.
