The Liberty are shorthanded β but reinforcements are on the way. π½
We're breaking down everything you need to know about the injury and availability situation surrounding New York's most anticipated players of 2026.
Sabrina Ionescu has been out since rolling her left ankle in the preseason finale against the Connecticut Sun, and while the MRI avoided a "significant" diagnosis, she's missed the first several games of the season.
The good news?
She's been back at practice and trending toward a return. When does she step back into the lineup β and what happens to the rotation when she does?
Then there's Satou Sabally β one of the most hyped free agent signings in Liberty history and "The Unicorn" still hasn't played a single minute in blue and orange. She's been sidelined with a cyst, but she too has reportedly been participating in practice. What's the realistic timeline for her debut?
And on the arrivals side: Leonie Fiebich just helped Valencia win the Spanish League championship β so Leo's coming back with even more hardware.
Meanwhile, Raquel Carrera is also wrapping up her overseas commitment with Valencia before making her way stateside. When can we expect them in the rotation, and what does the roster start to look like once everyone's finally healthy?
