Sabrina Ionescu sat out Monday night as the New York Liberty finished a back-to-back set against Portland. She returned for a season debut on Sunday versus Dallas after missing the first five games while recovering from a foot injury suffered in the preseason. In that game, she recorded 11 points, seven assists, and five rebounds, and did not score after a deep three in the second quarter. Ionescu had been listed questionable earlier in the day but was ruled out about 60 minutes before tip. New York also missed Betnijah Laney-Hamilton for a third straight game for personal reasons, and Leonie Fiebich, who had just been activated after arriving late from a Spanish League championship, was still regaining her conditioning after travel.
"The Liberty were also playing without wing Leonie Fiebich, who arrived to the team late after winning a championship in the Spanish League. She was activated to New York's roster earlier Monday, but coach Chris DeMarco said that she's still getting her legs back after the flight from Europe."
