Sabrina Ionescu’s return not enough to lift New York over Dallas as Liberty fall 91-76
2 minute read Updated: 6:07 PM CDTNEW YORK (AP) — Sabrina Ionescu got off to a strong start in her season debut, but couldn't keep it going as New York struggled in the second half of a 91-76 loss to Dallas.
The Liberty's star guard missed the first five games of the season with a foot injury suffered in a preseason game at Connecticut.
She returned Sunday and had 11 points, seven assists and five rebounds while playing 30 minutes. Ionsecu did most of her work in the first half. She hit a deep 3-pointer with 5:11 left in the second quarter that gave the Liberty a 35-27 lead. Ionescu didn't score after that, missing her final seven shot attempts.
Ionescu said she felt good after the game, despite the rough second half. She averaged 18.2 points, 5.7 assists and 4.9 rebounds last season and was happy to be back on the court. When she went down against Connecticut on May 3, she knew the injury wasn't major, but that it was going to cost her some time.

Hurricanes seal 1st place with a round to go in Super Rugby; Moana farewell home fans
4 minute read Yesterday at 10:20 PM CDTWELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — The Wellington-based Hurricanes have secured top seeding for the Super Rugby playoffs with one round remaining in the regular season.
After Saturday’s 45-28 win over the Dunedin-based Highlanders, the Hurricanes hold a nine-point lead over the Chiefs and cannot be displaced from the top of the table in next weekend’s final round. First place carries with it the valuable prize of a second chance in the playoffs, the chance to return if beaten in the first round.
The Hurricanes have an 11-2 record and lead the tournament with 84 tries, 18 more than the next best team. The rest of the top six teams that will contest the playoffs probably have been decided, though the finishing order may still change.
The Queensland Reds are in sixth place, five points clear of the New South Wales Waratahs in seventh and with an identical points differential. The Reds host the Fijian Drua and the Waratahs face the Western Force next weekend.
