UNCASVILLE, Conn. — Sabrina Ionescu<\/a> exited the New York Liberty<\/a>‘s preseason game against the Connecticut Sun on Sunday after she landed awkwardly during a drive to the basket in the third quarter.<\/p>\n The All-Star guard stayed down for a few seconds before getting up, waving toward New York’s bench on the other side of the court and walking with a slight limp back to the locker room. She was ruled out for the remainder of the game with what the team called a lower-body injury.<\/p>\n Ionescu had six points in just under 16 minutes of play. She was 2 for 8 from the field.<\/p>\n The Liberty open the regular season at home on Friday against Connecticut.<\/p>\n Ionescu played in 38 games last season for New York, averaging 18.2 points, 5.7 assists and 4.9 rebounds.<\/p>\n The Liberty played Sunday without Betnijah Laney-Hamilton<\/a>, Rebecca Allen<\/a> and Satou Sabally<\/a>, all of whom were working their way back into shape.<\/p>\n Copyright \u00a9 2026 ESPN Internet Ventures.
