The New York Liberty are striving to regain their form after a challenging road trip, ending with a 1-3 record and an overall 11-5 standing. Significant injuries to starters Jonquel Jones and Leonie Fiebich have affected team performance. Jones is expected to be sidelined for weeks due to a right-ankle injury, while Fiebich is returning after performing with Team Germany at EuroBasket. The Liberty are focusing on improving their rebounding and scoring in the paint, with an emphasis on teamwork and resilience as they prepare for an eight-game homestand.
"We're gonna get back at it," Cloud insisted after the Liberty's fifth loss in seven games, emphasizing the need for resilience despite their struggles.
"It's a challenge missing two starters," All-Star forward Breanna Stewart noted, indicating the impact of Jonquel Jones and Leonie Fiebich's injuries on the team's performance.
According to coach Sandy Brondello, "We need a little bit more size and help with some rebounding too, blocking out," highlighting the team's rebounding deficiencies.
Fiebich, praised as one of New York's best two-way players, averaged 3.8 boards and 6.7 points per game before her injury, showcasing her importance to the team.
