Ionescu rolled her left ankle and had to be helped off the court in her third career WNBA game.

Ionescu received an X-ray and the results came back negative for a fracture, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium.

Ionescu needed to be helped off the court and could not put enough weight on her ankle to walk. The Liberty called the injury an ankle sprain in a statement released mid-game.

Update: Sabrina Ionescu has left the game with what has been reported as an ankle sprain.
