New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu has been downgraded from questionable to out for Wednesday’s game against the visiting Phoenix Mercury due to a back injury and general soreness.
A four-time All-Star, Ionescu missed the season’s first five games with an injured foot. She collected 11 points, seven assists and five rebounds in New York’s 91-76 setback to the Dallas Wings on Sunday before sitting out an 81-74 loss to the Portland Fire the following night.
Ionescu, 28, averaged 18.2 points, 5.7 assists, 4.9 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 38 games (all starts) for the Liberty in 2025.
The No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 WNBA Draft has averaged 16.7 points, 5.9 assists and 5.5 rebounds in 182 career games (178 starts) for New York. She helped the Liberty win the WNBA championship in 2024.
