Sabrina Ionescu - Questionable for Tuesday Ionescu (foot) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game in Chicago.

Impact Ionescu is in danger of missing a second consecutive contest due to a left foot injury. If the star guard is unable to suit up, Marine Johannes figures to remain in the starting five.

Anneli Maley - Makes rare appearance Saturday Maley posted zero points (0-2 FG), two rebounds, two assists and one block over eight minutes during Saturday's 82-75 win over the Sun.

Impact Maley made a rare appearance Saturday, playing in her first game since the 108-88 loss to the Fever on July 18. Still, despite logging eight minutes off the bench, the 27-year-old recorded her fourth scoreless performance since signing a developmental deal with the Liberty on May 23.

Marine Fauthoux - Leads bench in scoring Saturday Fauthoux contributed eight points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 11 minutes during Saturday's 82-75 win over the Sun.

Impact Fauthoux had one of her better games of the 2026 campaign Saturday, recording her highest-scoring performance since the 104-99 loss to Las Vegas on July 30. The 25-year-old recently signed a multi-year deal with the Liberty, though she hasn't been very productive in her 15 regular-season appearances, averaging only 4.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists across 14.6 minutes.

Han Xu - Quiet in win Saturday Xu supplied two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one block across 13 minutes during Saturday's 82-75 victory over the Sun.

Impact Han logged 13 minutes off the bench, second only to Rebekah Gardner. However, the 26-year-old finished with her lowest-scoring performance since the 99-98 overtime victory over Dallas on July 20. Still, Han has played better than she did in 2025, averaging 6.0 points and 2.5 rebounds across 13.7 minutes in 36 regular-season appearances throughout the 2026 campaign.

Rebekah Gardner - Ends with seven points Saturday Gardner finished Saturday's 82-75 victory over Connecticut with seven points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over 15 minutes.

Impact Despite leading the bench in minutes, Gardner couldn't hit the double-digit scoring mark for the third straight game. The 36-year-old is playing better this season compared to the 2025 campaign, though she is still averaging just 5.2 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists across 15.1 minutes in 34 regular-season appearances.

Rebecca Allen - Grabs five boards in win Allen accumulated six points (2-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt) and five rebounds over 29 minutes during Saturday's 82-75 win over the Sun.

Impact Allen scored in single figures following a four-game double-digit scoring streak. However, she was efficient from outside and finished as New York's second-leading rebounder. Over seven appearances in August, she has averaged 8.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 0.9 assists in 23.9 minutes per showing.

Pauline Astier - Dishes out four dimes in win Astier chipped in eight points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Saturday's 82-75 win over the Sun.

Impact Astier turned in a productive performance from inside the arc, tying for fourth on the club in scoring. She was also second on the Liberty in assists. The 24-year-old guard has scored single-digit points in four consecutive contests, averaging 6.0 points, 3.3 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 19.3 minutes per tilt during that time.

Breanna Stewart - Chips in 12 points vs. Connecticut Stewart finished Saturday's 82-75 win over the Sun with 11 points (3-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes.

Impact Stewart was inefficient from the field during Saturday's win, but she did just enough to reach double-digit points while finishing as the Liberty's third-leading scorer behind Jonquel Jones (23 points) and Marine Johannes (17 points). Stewart has failed to score at least 20 points in each of her last four outings but is still enjoying a productive 2026 season, averaging 20.7 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.3 steals over 33.1 minutes per game, though she's connecting on only 26.4 percent of her three-point attempts.

Marine Johannes - Strong outing in spot start Johannes recorded 17 points (6-9 FG, 5-8 3Pt), five assists, two rebounds, one steal and one block over 31 minutes during the Liberty's 82-75 win over the Sun on Saturday.

Impact Johannes has mostly operated in a bench role since late June, but she was moved into the Liberty's starting five due to the absence of Sabrina Ionescu (foot). Johannes answered the call, leading the Liberty with five three-pointers to finish as the team's second-leading scorer behind Jonquel Jones (23 points). Johannes will likely stay in the starting five if Ionescu is not cleared to return for Tuesday's road game against the Sky.

Jonquel Jones - Paces New York in victory Jones tallied 23 points (9-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds and two assists across 35 minutes in Saturday's 82-75 win over the Sun.

Impact Jones delivered an efficient effort and was one of two Liberty players to knock down three-plus triples en route to a game-high mark in scoring. The veteran center also paced all players in rebounds, securing her 15th double-double on the year. She's racked up a double-double in three straight games and has totaled four such performances over her last five appearances, tallying multiple combined steals-plus-blocks in four games during that span.

Impact Ionescu is dealing with a left foot injury and will miss her first game since June 11. The star guard's next chance to suit up will come in Chicago on Tuesday. Marine Johannes, Marine Fauthoux and Rebekah Gardner are all candidates for increased playing time in Ionescu's absence.

Anneli Maley - Left off injury report Maley (coach's decision) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Sun.

Sabrina Ionescu - Iffy for Saturday Ionescu (foot) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Sun.

Impact Ionescu is in danger of missing her first game since June 11 due to a left foot issue. If the veteran guard is unable to suit up, Marine Johannes, Marine Fauthoux and Rebekah Gardner would be candidates for increased playing time. Ionescu has averaged 15.4 points, 4.4 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 28.4 minutes per contest over her last five outings.

Rebecca Allen - Strong night from deep Allen recorded 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-5 3PT), one rebound, one assist and two steals in 26 minutes during Thursday's 85-81 win over Los Angeles.

Impact Allen put together a sharp shooting line and led the Liberty with three made treys. Her performance from range was welcome sight, as the team watched Sabrina Ionescu struggle to a 1-for-9 evening from beyond the arc. Allen has been much improved from deep lately despite hitting at a clip of 21.2 percent through her first 13 appearances of the season. She's knocking down 58.3 percent of her tries from three over her last seven contests while averaging 2.0 made triples over this hot streak.

Sabrina Ionescu - Tallies 20 points despite shooting woes Ionescu totaled 20 points (6-17 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 7-9 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Thursday's 85-81 win over the Sparks.

Impact Ionescu needed plenty of volume on the offensive end to reach the 20-point threshold, chucking up a team-high 17 field-goal attempts. She briefly exited the game in the third quarter with an apparent ankle injury, but she was able to return shortly after a quick evaluation and didn't appear to face any restrictions down the stretch. Ionescu hasn't looked quite herself from range since the early part of August, as she's shot 4-for-26 (15.3 percent) from three over her last four matchups.

Jonquel Jones - Tallies 18 rebounds in win Jones collected 11 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 18 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block across 33 minutes in Thursday's 85-81 win over Los Angeles.

Impact Jones turned in a full stat line, most notably hauling in a season-high 18 rebounds as part of a winning effort. Thursday marked the center's 14th double-double of the campaign and third over her past four appearances. On the year, Jones is averaging 14.5 points, 9.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.1 blocks in 29.2 minutes per contest across 34 games.

Sabrina Ionescu - Returns to play Ionescu (ankle) checked back in to Thursday's game against Los Angeles with 4:14 remaining in the third quarter, Myles Ehrlich of Winsidr.com reports.

Impact This was a brief scare for the Liberty, as Ionescu departed for the locker room earlier in the quarter after appearing to suffer an ankle injury. However, she returned to the bench shortly after and was then cleared to check back in.

Sabrina Ionescu - Exits to locker room Thursday Ionescu (ankle) went to the locker room in the third quarter of Thursday's game against the Sparks, Jackie Powell of The IX Sportsreports.

Impact Ionescu went down with an apparent left ankle injury that forced her to the locker room early in the second half. Should she be unable to return, Marine Johannes and Marine Fauthoux are candidates to see more action down the stretch Thursday.
