Sabrina Ionescu is back. The New York Liberty star is set to make her season debut Sunday when the Liberty travel to Dallas to take on the Wings. It's been a long wait for Liberty fans, but Ionescu's return gives New York a serious jolt heading into what's shaping up to be a critical stretch of the WNBA season.
Shifting to the diamond, the Cubs are shaking things up against Houston on Saturday. Ian Happ gets a seat as the Cubs try to spark something offensively, sliding Pete Crow-Armstrong up to the leadoff spot. PCA has the speed and the instincts to set the table, and Chicago is clearly looking for any edge it can find against the Astros.
And over in the IPL, Shreyas Iyer delivered something special. The Punjab Kings captain crushed his maiden Indian Premier League century, finishing one hundred and one not out as Punjab chased down one hundred ninety seven with two overs to spare. It snapped a six-match skid and pushed Punjab back into that fourth playoff spot, though the math is still tight heading into the final stretch.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
