Ionescu, 28, has only played in one of the Liberty’s 10 games this season. After sustaining a left ankle injury during the preseason, she didn’t return to the lineup until May 24’s matchup with the Dallas Wings. Ionescu played 30 minutes in that game, scoring 11 points with five rebounds and seven ****** ists.
However, she developed back soreness after playing against the Wings and has missed the Liberty’s past four games.
