Liberty Edge Fever 90-88 in Early Season Clash

The New York Liberty defeated the Indiana Fever 90-88 in a closely contested WNBA game, with Sabrina Ionescu scoring a season-high 23 points and surpassing Becky Hammon for fourth all-time in Liberty scoring. Jonquel Jones contributed a double-double for the Liberty, who improved to 3-0 despite injuries to Leonie Fiebich (shin) and the absence of Nyara Sabally (knee). Indiana's Caitlin Clark led her team with 18 points and 10 assists but struggled with shooting, while Aliyah Boston added 27 points and 13 rebounds. Ionescu’s postgame social media celebration garnered notable fan attention. The Liberty, who recently set a league record for most three-pointers in a game, are preparing for a matchup against the expansion Golden State Valkyries. Meanwhile, the Fever look to rebound under new head coach Stephanie White with an improved roster and unprecedented national TV coverage.
