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.

The Liberty dominated the league in the first half of the season and continue to maintain their momentum. New York secured 17 wins in their first 21 games and is currently riding a seven-game winning streak, boasting the best record in the WNBA.

Conversely, the Wings have struggled throughout the 2024 season. After ending an 11-game losing streak to reach a 4-13 record, Dallas has managed just two wins in their last eight games. This stretch includes a 20-point loss to the Liberty on Tuesday night, where three of the Wings' starters scored in double figures.
