New York Liberty stars were unable to withstand a fourth quarter comeback in the debut of the new 3-on-3 league.
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.
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.
The Liberty opted to retain this up and coming guard on their roster via camp contract before the WNBA free agency period.
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.

Stewart has led the Liberty in scoring in each of her two seasons in Brooklyn. In 2024, she averaged 20.4 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.3 blocks per game while helping deliver New York its first professional basketball title in 51 years.
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.
Women coaches with NBA experience are flocking to the WNBA — and former Memphis Grizzlies assistant Sonia Raman is the latest such example. On Monday, the New York Liberty announced that Raman would be joining head coach Sandy Brondello’s coaching staff,
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.
