The New York Liberty will face the Phoenix Mercury on Wednesday night without star guard Sabrina Ionescu and forward Satou Sabally. Ionescu is sidelined due to back soreness, which adds to her previous foot injury concerns that delayed her season debut. Sabally is out with an illness, further depleting the Liberty's roster, which already has several players listed on the injury report, including Betnijah Laney-Hamilton and Marine Fauthoux.
