tRY IT NOWThe Liberty are in danger of something they may not be able to afford — another loss to their frontcourt.
In just two minutes of playing time in Sunday’s loss to the Storm, Isabelle Harrison went down with an apparent right knee injury in the third quarter.
After the game, the forward was getting imaging done, leaving the Liberty with no update.
On Monday, Harrison was listed as questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Aces.
If Harrison is to remain out for an extended period, the Liberty will be without two big frontcourt pieces — the other being 2024 Finals MVP Jonquel Jones, who isn’t expected to return from an aggravated ankle injury until after the All-Star break.

“I don’t know until I know,” Sandy Brondello said Sunday of possibly being without Harrison. “I don’t have a plan to be quite honest.”
It would leave Nyara Sabally to carry the load, but she brings her own injury history.
The center was off from a few practices before Sunday and played just five minutes in Thursday’s 89-79 victory over the Sparks.
Yet, Sabally assured she is “good” physically after playing 20 minutes against the Storm on Sunday and finishing with six points and six rebounds.
With or without Jones back in July, the Liberty could look in the free agency market for a frontcourt reinforcement in a player like Emma Meesseman, who recently led Belgium to the 2025 FIBA Women’s EuroBasket title and was named MVP of the tournament.
