Davis played 43 minutes in the thrilling overtime victory and though he shot a poor 8-of-23 from the field, he was key on the defensive end. The 28-year-old was able to suffocate the Knicks in the fourth quarter and overtime, using his superior length and instincts to snuff out any actions and force them into tough contested looks.

With training camp coming to a close and the Liberty poised to open the season Friday night against the Indiana Fever, coach Walt Hpokins is still getting his team ready for action . and their Brooklyn debut.
At Media Day Monday, Hopkins provided an update on star guard and former No. 1 overall pick Sabrina Ionescu. Ionescu played a mere two games last season with the Liberty in the WNBA “wubble” due to an ankle injury. Ionescu, in fact, did not play in the Liberty’s closed scrimmage against the Connecticut Sun earlier in camp. Hopkins has said the team is continuing to “ramp-up” the young star who’s expected to handle point guard duties. However, Hopkins also said that she was all but back to normal.
