Sabrina Ionescu, the New York Liberty’s star rookie, will reportedly miss about one month after suffering a grade 3 ankle sprain on Friday night during a game against the Atlanta Dream.
It was a pretty scary injury for one of the WNBA’s bourgeoning stars, and it initially looked like it was a lot worse. The Liberty announced on Saturday that they believe Ionescu’s ankle can be treated non-surgically, and that the next few days will be focused on reducing the swelling and increasing her range of motion.
