Liberty Need Sabrina Ionescu to Snap Out of Shooting Slump After WNBA World Cup Break Sabrina Ionescu’s shooting struggles continue, culminating in a 0-10 shooting performance against the Chicago Sky.

AUGUST 30 • SI.COM

Offensive struggles continue Saturday Ionescu recorded two points (0-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block over 23 minutes during the Liberty's 85-66 win over the Sky on Saturday.

Impact Ionescu's struggles from the field continued in Saturday's win, with her only points coming from the charity stripe. She's failed to score in double digits in each of her last two games, going 2-for-22 from the field and 1-for-12 from three-point range in that span. Luckily for Ionescu, the WNBA is taking an extended break for the 2026 FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup, so she'll have time to work on her shot before the Liberty's next game, which takes place Friday, Sept. 18, against the Lynx.

Struggles with shot Ionescu ended with seven points (2-12 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one block in 29 minutes during Thursday's 79-60 loss to Golden State.

Impact Ionescu couldn't get her shot to fall as the Liberty dropped to 23-16 on the season. Across 26 games, Ionescu is now shooting 41.3 percent from the field and 30.1 percent from beyond the arc.

Supplies 12 points Saturday Ionescu tallied 12 points (5-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four assists, three rebounds and one block over 32 minutes during the Liberty's 109-102 win over the Fever on Saturday.

Impact It was far from Ionescu's best performance Saturday, but she still managed to reach double-digit points and finished as the Liberty's fourth-leading scorer. Still, her efficiency from three-point range is a bit concerning, considering she's connected on only seven of 31 attempts from beyond the arc (22.6 percent) over her last six outings. Through eight games in August, Ionescu has averaged 16.8 points, 6.0 assists, 4.3 rebounds, 1.9 threes and 1.0 steals over 30.3 minutes per contest.

Double-doubles in defeat Ionescu tallied 18 points (7-17 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 assists, seven rebounds, one steal and one block across 34 minutes in Tuesday's 93-86 loss to the Sky.

Impact Ionescu didn't put together her most efficient outing from beyond the arc, though she still finished as New York's second-leading scorer in her return from a one-game absence due to a foot injury. The star guard also dished out a game- and season-best 12 assists while tying for the team high in rebounds. She's scored at least 18 points in five of her seven appearances this month, but she's shot just 26.9 percent from three-point range in August.

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.
