NEW YORK (AP) — The surging New York Liberty will face Indiana on Tuesday night in a marquee WNBA matchup that will see the Fever at full strength after the league rescinded a technical foul against Caitlin Clark that would have kept her out.
Clark picked up her eighth technical of the season on Saturday, the number that triggers a one-game suspension, but league officials quickly rescinded it. New York has won four straight games and seven of its last eight thanks to strong play from its top three players Breanna Stewart, Jonquel Jones and Sabrina Ionescu.
The trio has been taking turns leading the Liberty during the recent hot streak that’s bumped them up to seventh place in the standings — but just two games behind third-place Las Vegas. The Liberty are coming off a 40-point win over the defending champion Aces on Sunday.
凯特琳·克拉克差点缺席周二比赛,快速逆转使自由队和费弗队全力以赴
纽约(美联社)——状态回暖的纽约自由队将在周二晚上迎战印第安纳费弗队,这场重要的WNBA比赛将看到费弗队全力以赴,因为联盟撤销了一项将使凯特琳·克拉克缺席的技术犯规。
克拉克在周六获得了本赛季的第八次技术犯规,这一数字触发了一场比赛的禁赛,但联盟官员迅速撤销了这一决定。由于其三名顶级球员布雷安娜·斯图尔特、琼奎尔·琼斯和萨布rina·尤尼斯库的出色表现,纽约在最近的八场比赛中赢得了七场,连续赢得四场比赛。
这三名球员在最近的热潮中轮流带领自由队,使他们在积分榜上升至第七位,但仅落后第三名的拉斯维加斯两场比赛。自由队刚刚以40分的优势战胜了卫冕冠军王牌队。
