  • The Liberty have dropped three straight games, most recently a 100-93 loss Wednesday to the Minnesota Lynx in which Sabrina Ionescu posted 31 points, five rebounds and four assists.
  • Breanna Stewart, Nyara Sabally and Kennedy Burke are sidelined, forcing New York to rely on reserves for Friday’s contest.
  • Connecticut holds the league’s worst mark at 4-21 and has lost five of its last six outings, including a 101-85 defeat to the Seattle Storm on Monday.
  • Tina Charles leads the Sun with 16.1 points and 5.8 rebounds per game but has received limited support from her teammates.
