New York Liberty Suffer Big Loss on Wednesday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Barclays Center was buzzing on Tuesday as the New York Liberty rolled out to a commanding 85-66 victory over the Chicago Sky.

The Sky are struggling with a new coach and revamped roster, and are 2-6 following a lopsided road loss to the New York Liberty on Tuesday. A season-ending knee injury to franchise career assist leader Courtney Vandersloot last weekend only added to their difficulties.

The New York Liberty got some good news and bad news on the injury report for the Chicago Sky's Tuesday visit to Barclays Center. As the Liberty attempt to stay perfect against Chicago, the medical list features no names except for Jonquel Jones,

The Sky are 2-5 and will go the rest of the season without starting point guard Courtney Vandersloot. They need some wins before this slides completely out of control.

New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu is not taking her team's best start in franchise history for granted. Ionescu, Breanna Stewart and the Liberty (8-0) will aim to keep rolling along on Tuesday when they host the Chicago Sky (2-5).

The 2025 season has been a rough one for the Sky, as they rank in the bottom three in the WNBA in offensive rating, defensive rating, and net rating. Not only that, but the Sky just lost veteran point guard Courtney Vandersloot – a former Liberty player – to a torn ACL.

New York will try to keep its four-game home win streak alive when the Liberty take on Chicago. Tuesday's meeting will be the second of the season between the two teams.
