Liberty Deliver a Statement Win in Brooklyn Over Fever

The New York Liberty defeated the Indiana Fever 109-102 at Barclays Center on Saturday to reaffirm their place among the league’s contenders, led by a strong 40 minutes and a late push by the Fever. Jonquel Jones posted 19 points and 10 rebounds as New York led most of the game, while Rebecca Allen and the crowd helped dampen Fever momentum in a nationally televised win that has playoff-seeding implications and suggests the Liberty can compete with top teams.

Hammon benches Aces stars in national TV game, fueling load-management debate

Las Vegas Aces coach Becky Hammon sat A’ja Wilson, Chelsea Gray and Jackie Young for a back-to-back road game against the New York Liberty, starting Jewell Loyd, Dana Evans and Brianna Turner as the Aces were routed 111-71 on ABC.

Aces rest stars to guard health, suffer blowout at hands of Liberty

Becky Hammon sat A’ja Wilson, Chelsea Gray and Jackie Young to prioritize health on a back-to-back/road trip, resulting in a 111-71 loss to the New York Liberty. Marine Johannes exploded for a career-high 27 off the bench as the Liberty surged, while Las Vegas’ bench led by Ta’Niya Latson stepped up with 20 points. The starters combined for just 19 points, leaving Vegas four games back of Minnesota for the top seed. Hammon framed the decision as balancing short-term results with long-term health, a growing concern as the WNBA expands its schedule.

Liberty Enter Kelsey Plum Trade Sweepstakes Ahead of WNBA Deadline

Liberty Enter Kelsey Plum Trade Sweepstakes Ahead of WNBA Deadline

New York Liberty are among teams courting Kelsey Plum ahead of Sunday's WNBA trade deadline, with the Sparks valuing Plum highly and the risk of a short-term rental since she’s headed for free agency after the season. Plum, who averages 23.9 PPG, has said talks are business as usual and plans to play in Sparks’ next game; NY would likely need to move multiple assets to fit her under the cap (Liberty reportedly have under $130K) and that would boost a high-powered lineup but won't fix defensive issues. The Liberty sit 17-13 and remain in playoff position as the deadline looms.

Ionescu Fires Back at Claims She Declined WNBA 3-Point Contest Invite

Sabrina Ionescu refutes social-media claims that she declined to participate in the WNBA 3-point contest during All-Star weekend, calling the post a lie after she wasn’t named to the 2026 All-Star game. The Liberty star, an all-time 3-point contest scoring leader who won last year, is not on the All-Star roster this season. The Chicago 3-point contest lineup reportedly includes Azzi Fudd, Marina Mabrey, Rhyne Howard, Bridget Carleton, Natisha Hiedeman and Janelle Salaün.

Fever surge overwhelms fatigued Liberty with dominant third quarter

The New York Liberty, reeling from a travel-induced layoff, were overpowered by the Indiana Fever 108-88 in Indianapolis, as a 30-12 third-quarter run blew the game open. New York struggled with 17 turnovers leading to 30 Fever points and cooled after a hot first quarter, shooting poorly from inside the arc and from three in the final three frames. Caitlin Clark played on a minutes-restriction for Indiana on the back-to-back, while the Fever bench outscored the Liberty 31-14. Injuries to Leonie Fiebich and Satou Sabally limited the Liberty’s depth, leaving points to Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu to carry the offense as New York drops to 13-12 with two games before the All-Star break.

Indiana Fever beat the New York Liberty 108-88, erasing a 13-point deficit behind Kelsey Mitchell’s 33 points while Caitlin Clark added 17 points and seven assists; Clark drew an early technical after a hard screen that could trigger a $1,000 fine, and Indiana moved to first in the Eastern Conference as Breanna Stewart’s contact on Clark went uncalled.

Liberty’s 12-hour tarmac delay postpones WNBA game vs Wings

The New York Liberty were stranded on a charter plane for about 12 hours due to mechanical issues, forcing the postponement of their road game against the Dallas Wings to Monday. Dallas adjusted with a back-to-back, hosting the Los Angeles Sparks on Sunday before facing Liberty. Travel delays, not weather, were blamed for the postponement, and Liberty’s next game is Saturday at Indiana.

Bizarre Shoe-Throw Ejects Liberty’s Laney-Hamilton in Narrow Tempo Win

In a bizarre finish to a 93-91 loss to Toronto Tempo, Betnijah Laney-Hamilton threw a teammate’s shoe at Marina Mabrey, earning a technical foul and automatic ejection with 1:48 left. Laney-Hamilton had earlier drawn two techs in the game, plus a flagrant-1 for arm contact with Mabrey. Mabrey hit a late free throw to put Tempo ahead; the Liberty briefly rallied but fell short. Laney-Hamilton said the throw wasn’t intentional, while Liberty coach Chris DeMarco blasted the officiating; New York fell to 13-11 on the season.
