The New York Liberty started strong at 9-0 as WNBA champions but now sit at 12-6 due to injuries to key players.
Forward Leonie Fiebich went to EuroBasket, while center Jonquel Jones' ankle injury has sidelined her for nine games, significantly impacting the team's performance.
As they prepare to face the Las Vegas Aces, the Liberty miss Jones' presence inside. Coach Sandy Brondello acknowledged difficulties in adapting without her, emphasizing the need for confidence amidst lineup changes and injuries.
Despite setbacks, Sabrina Ionescu remains optimistic. With three games remaining before the All-Star break, there's hope for Jones' return to reinvigorate the team's chemistry.
The Liberty aim to regain momentum while staying focused on improvement, as Ionescu noted, "It's about finding a way to get a win." With the season still in its early stages, New York remains determined to bounce back.
