Ionescu earned the same title last week, becoming the first Eastern rep to earn multiple such honors this season. This is also the first time a single player has won back-to-back Player of the Week awards while repping the Liberty since August 2022, when Ionescu herself pulled off the feat amidst a playoff chase.

Ionescu had 29 points and eight assists as the Liberty defeated the Mercury; Jonquel Jones added 20 points and 11 rebounds.

New York Liberty superstar guard Sabrina Ionescu went off on the referees during Saturday night's home loss to the Los Angeles Sparks over a questionable call.
