New York Liberty Injury Report: Will Sabrina Ionescu Play Against Dallas Wings on August 22?
Will Sabrina Ionescu Suit Up Against Dallas Wings on August 22? Her status remains uncertain as the team prepares for a critical showdown. Find out more about her condition. Read more.
The Liberty will likely be without Sabrina Ionescu for their Thursday night matchup against the Dallas Wings. They host the struggling Wings at the Barclays Center, and Ionescu is expected to be sidelined with a neck injury.
RotoWire's latest update reports that Sabrina Ionescu's neck injury puts her status for Thursday's game in question. She appears on the injury report alongside Leone Fiebich, who is questionable with a rib injury, and Betnijah Laney-Hamilton, who will be out for two more weeks while recovering from a right knee injury.
Ionescu missed the first game of the season but has played in all of the Liberty's games since. In her absence, Courtney Vandersloot, Kennedy Burke, Ivana Dojkic, and Nyara Sabally are expected to see more playing time. Ionescu has been New York's leading scorer this season, averaging 19.9 points along with 4.4 rebounds and 6.6 assists. She's shooting 42.7% from the field and 35.7% from three-point range, making her a crucial part of the team's playoff hopes.
