Sabrina Ionescu Injured, Latest on Liberty Star and Return Timeline Ahead of 2026 WNBA Season

The New York Liberty's season hasn't begun yet, but they've already been dealt some bad injury luck.

Star guard Sabrina Ionescu will miss at least two weeks after suffering a left foot injury during Sunday's preseason game against the Connecticut Sun, according to Madeline Kenny of the New York Post.

Ionescu suffered the injury during the third quarter of Sunday's contest.

"[Things are] positive right now," Liberty coach Chris DeMarco told reporters after the game. "We're just going to do the test tomorrow and that's the only update I have."

Ionescu had her rookie season ended prematurely because of a left ankle injury, and the Liberty are obviously hoping things won't be that severe this time around.

Ionescu played 16 minutes in the preseason game, scoring six points.

The Liberty begin their season on Friday, and Ionescu being out is a major blow. The four-time All-Star is coming off a season in which she recorded 18.2 points, 5.7 assists and 4.9 boards while helping lead New York to the No. 2 overall seed.
