New York Liberty rookie Leonie Fiebich overcame a rolled ankle to secure Germany's advancement in the Olympic women's basketball tournament.
At the rate things have gone, New York Liberty fans probably can't wait for Germany's inaugural run at the Summer Olympics' women's basketball tournament to end.
Like the opening victory over Belgium, however, Thursday's win did not come without some medical drama involving a seafoam savant: this time it involved breakout rookie Leonie Fiebich, who endured a rolled ankle in a tangle-up with Saori Miyazaki in the middle stages of the second quarter. Germany was already without Fiebich's fellow New Yorker and Deutschlander Nyara Sabally, the victim of Liberty friendly fire the two collided in Monday's tip-off.
In any event, Thursday proved to the time to shine for Satou Sabally : Nyara's sister scored 19 of the team's 42 points in the opening period and ended with 33 tallies on 11-of-17 shooting. Thos beyond Satou shot 13-of-47 from the field and only reserve Frieda Buhner was in the red at 2-of-3.
