The New York Liberty and Seattle Storm were missing the point.
More specifically, their point guards.
However, while nine-time WNBA All-Star Sue Bird returned to the Storm last weekend, the Liberty will be without Brittany Boyd for the rest of the season after she underwent surgery earlier this week for a torn Achilles.
The Liberty and Storm meet Friday night at KeyArena in Seattle.
Without Boyd, the Liberty (2-1) won 69-67 Tuesday at Phoenix despite committing 17 turnovers and struggling in half-court sets.
“We lost Brittany Boyd for the season, it was unfortunate, she was really coming in her own,” Liberty coach Bill Laimbeer said after the game.
