Nyara Sabally and Leonie Fiebich went to breakfast Wednesday morning before Fiebich boarded an international flight.
Sabally had every intention at the beginning of the season to join her Liberty teammate on that plane and play for the German national team at EuroBasket, which starts Wednesday.
But after dealing with a nagging knee issue for 2 ½ weeks, Sabally made the difficult decision to sit out the international tournament.
“It was a pretty last-minute decision,” Sabally said Thursday. “I kind of just waited until the last minute to be completely sure. After my knee kind of got worse and the [platelet-rich plasma] injection, I kind of knew it probably would be the best idea to kind of stay here.”
