Isabelle Harrison scored a season-high 16 points and Marine Johannes added 14 to help the short-handed New York Liberty beat the Washington Mystics 89-63 on Thursday night.
New York (24-15) was missing three starters. Sabrina Ionescu (toe), Jonquel Jones (illness) and Natasha Cloud (nose) all were out. Ionescu hurt a toe on her left foot in practice Wednesday. Jones wasn’t feeling well earlier on Thursday and was a late scratch. Cloud broke her nose against Atlanta last week and is day-to-day.
While those three missed the game, Harrison made her return to the New York lineup after missing more than two weeks while dealing with a concussion. She gave the Liberty a lift inside as well as hitting two 3-pointers.
