NEW YORK — Year 3 for Sabrina Ionescu has so far shaped up to be a career reset.
Ionescu is finally 100% healthy and free from her ailing ankle, having spent the entire offseason rehabbing and getting stronger. She has new teammates and a new set of coaches. And for the first time since suffering that Grade 3 left ankle sprain in 2020, she can give her teammates her absolute best without holding back.
“I didn’t play, really, that first year, I learned a lot of lessons last year, learned what I should and shouldn’t do, and took an entire offseason to get healthy and be able to give my all to the team,” Ionescu said during the Liberty’s third day of training camp at Barclays Center on Tuesday. “And I think that’s really important. And it’s also unselfish. It’s not fair to the team if I’m not playing at 100 percent and able to give them everything that I have.
