New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu got a hand up on the competition despite enduring a tough loss in her Unrivaled debut.
The New York Sirens continue to lag behind in attendance. The league has tried moving the team, playing in three different locations already. Here's how they could avoid permanent relocation out of the New York area.
New York Liberty stars were unable to withstand a fourth quarter comeback in the debut of the new 3-on-3 league.
The Liberty opted to retain this up and coming guard on their roster via camp contract before the WNBA free agency period.
Unrivaled’s inaugural season is scheduled to begin Friday in Miami. Ionescu's participation in the league adds to her remarkable 2024, which included winning a gold medal at the Olympics and securing the WNBA championship with the Liberty.
As the WNBA offseason sets to kick into full swing the New York Liberty are making a big move to retain Breanna Stewart. Per Madeline Kenney of the New York Post, the reigning WNBA champions are set to designate Breanna Stewart as a core player before the deadline of January 20th.
Unrivaled is a new 3-on-3 professional women's basketball league comprised of 36 players separated into six teams — the Laces Basketball Club, Lunar Owls Basketball Club, Mist Basketball Club, Phantom Basketball Club, Rose Basketball Club and Vinyl Basketball Club.
“Yeah, it got spicy between co-founders for a little bit,” says New York Liberty center Breanna Stewart, who along with her 2024 WNBA Finals rival, Minnesota’s Napheesa Collier, are starting Unrivaled, a three-on-three women’s pro basketball league that tips off Friday night in South Florida.
New York's Breanna Stewart was one of a handful of players who have been given the franchise tag by their WNBA teams, meaning they can’t sign a contract directly with anyone else.
The Liberty are coming off the two best seasons in their history — a run that was punctuated with the franchise’s first WNBA Finals title in October. Running it back should be the plan for New York, especially considering the league is due for a reset in 2026.
With the core designation, New York will officially take the biggest free agent off the market as the Liberty now have exclusive negotiating rights with Stewart.
Unrivaled, the new basketball league founded by WNBA stars Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier, made its well-awaited debut Friday night. The league features 36 of women's basketball's biggest stars across six teams in a full-court, three-on-three format.
