Overview
- On Sunday Ionescu finished an eight-game run 8-of-53 from three for 15.1 percent, the lowest eight-game 3P% in WNBA history for a minimum 50 attempts.
- Her season three-point percentage has dropped to a career-low 29.5 percent, below her previous low of 29.9 percent.
- The slump includes an August 29 game in Chicago when she missed all 10 field-goal attempts and went 0-of-3 from deep, and it follows other poor outings over the same stretch.
- Ionescu has missed 13 games this season with ankle, back and left-foot issues, and she says she will use the upcoming break to rest and address her back.
- Coach Chris DeMarco defended her value beyond scoring, and the Liberty plan rest and medical care during the WNBA/FIBA break while monitoring whether recovery restores her form before the playoffs.
