Liberty Lose to Lynx and Wings Amid Injuries

The New York Liberty suffered consecutive losses on their road trip, first falling to the Dallas Wings 92-82 and then to the Minnesota Lynx 100-93. In Dallas's upset win, Arike Ogunbowale led the Wings with 20 points and a career-high 14 assists, while Paige Bueckers added 20 points as Dallas built a commanding 30-point lead before withstanding a late Liberty rally. The Liberty, playing without All-Star Breanna Stewart due to injury, were also defeated by Minnesota, where Napheesa Collier scored 30 points and Kayla McBride contributed 24. Sabrina Ionescu led the Liberty with 31 points against Minnesota but could not secure the win. The Liberty's recent struggles highlight the impact of Stewart's absence and defensive lapses. Meanwhile, the Phoenix Mercury continued their strong start to the season with a victory over the Indiana Fever.
