The New York Liberty will face the Indiana Fever at full strength on Tuesday night after the league rescinded a technical foul against Caitlin Clark. Clark had picked up her eighth technical of the season on Saturday, which would have triggered a one-game suspension.
Recent Performance
The Liberty have won four straight games and seven of their last eight, thanks to strong play from their top three players: Breanna Stewart, Jonquel Jones, and Sabrina Ionescu. The trio has been taking turns leading the team during their recent hot streak, which has bumped them up to seventh place in the standings.
The Liberty are coming off a 40-point win over the defending champion Las Vegas Aces on Sunday. The Aces had rested their stars, including A’ja Wilson, Chelsea Gray, and Jackie Young, due to a brutal back-to-back schedule.
Sabrina Ionescu stated, ‘It doesn’t matter who’s playing on the other side, we understand we needed to win. It doesn’t matter, we wanted to go out. We wanted to execute, we wanted to play our brand of basketball, knowing every game is important and this game isn’t going to have an asterisk by it because those players didn’t play. It’s going to show up as a win or a loss.’
Upcoming Games
The Liberty would love to get some revenge against the Fever, having lost by 20 points in their previous meeting. Meanwhile, the Washington Mystics will try to extend their seven-game winning streak when they visit the Aces for a pair of games.
