Sabrina Ionescu first double-double of the season and Emma Meesseman's awaited debut helped end the Liberty's longest losing streak in three calendar years, as New York avenged a Friday defeat to the Connecticut Sun with an 87-78 victory on Sunday at Mohegan Sun Arena.

Emma Meesseman is officially returning to WNBA action. The New York Liberty’s newest addition will suit up tonight against the Connecticut Sun, a much-needed reinforcement as Breanna Stewart remains sidelined without a clear return timetable.

Sabrina Ionescu isn’t brash. She’s not going to fall for this reporter’s line of questioning about whether she personally, as one of the league’s best players, took the onus to take over Sunday’s game to ensure the Liberty would end a four-game losing streak.
