New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu is out at least two weeks with an ankle injury, the New York Post reported Monday.

An MRI showed the four-time All-Star guard avoided "significant injury" when she rolled her left ankle in Sunday's preseason win at Connecticut, per the report.

Ionescu, 28, played 16 minutes in the 79-67 victory against the Sun and finished with six points and two assists.

The Liberty open the 2026 WNBA regular season against the Sun on Friday night in Brooklyn.

Ionescu averaged 18.2 points, 5.7 assists, 4.9 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 38 games (all starts) for the Liberty in 2025.

The No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 WNBA Draft has averaged 16.7 points, 5.9 assists and 5.5 rebounds in 181 career games (177 starts) for New York. She helped the Liberty win the WNBA championship in 2024.
