New York Liberty Slip in WNBA Power Rankings

Stewart will need to keep playing solid on offense and defense so that the Liberty can maintain their steady style of play.

The Liberty fell one spot to No. 3 in the latest WNBA Power Rankings, according to ESPN.

Jonquel Jones re-injured right ankle, putting her on shelf for some time

Jones first suffered her ankle injury back on June 5, missing two games. She came back on June 17 in a victory over the Atlanta Dream and posted a double-double. In last Thursday's loss to the surging Phoenix Mercury, Jones re-injured her right ankle.

New York, 10-3 overall going into Tuesday, is in the midst of a four-game road trip. The Liberty did not reach the Commissioners Cup final. So, the team can now focus on getting back to the pinnacle of WNBA play.

Liberty coach Sandy Brondello has been able to make game-situation decisions that keep her team in games. With some players either not healthy or not available, Brondello will need to work extra on making sure her offensive and defensive plays work with who she has to put on the court.

Still, no one in the WNBA should count out New York at all. The Liberty know what it takes to become champions. It's going to be a tough stretch for the Liberty in the next few games.
