Again playing without Napheesa Collier, the Minnesota Lynx saw their six-game winning streak end with Tuesday’s loss.
Breanna Stewart, the Liberty’s past MVP winner, and Napheesa Collier, the Lynx’s future MVP winner, again were sidelined due to injuries.
Few players electrify their home arena like Sabrina Ionescu, and Barclays Center has rarely sounded as loud as it did on Tuesday when she sealed the New York Liberty's 85-75 win over the Minnesota Lynx with an absurd four-point play in the closing minute.
New York Liberty forward Jonquel Jones responded to recent comments by Minnesota Lynx guard Courtney Williams, who called the Liberty a “punk-a** team” during a livestream appearance alongside teammate Natisha Hiedeman and newly signed guard Jaylyn Sherrod.
Which brings us today’s quiz. Ionescu was third in points-per-game in the 2024 WNBA playoffs at 16.9, raising her career average to 15.2 over her postseason career. With that being said, can you name the WNBA’s all-time leaders in playoff points-per-game?

The Liberty have been on a rocky journey since the 2025 WNBA trade deadline passed, but it's not too late to steady the ship.
Despite her feelings, Meesseman and her team kept the option on the table. She completed the 2024 Olympic Games for Belgium as the scoring and efficiency leader and the second-leading blocker behind Team USA's A'ja Wilson. Meesseman ranked fourth overall in field goal percentage. Her stock was high and teams like New York were ready to make a move.
