The WNBA offseason enters its second stage today. After 10 days of extending qualifying offers to retain the rights of their own free agents, teams are now allowed to negotiate with everyone. Contracts cannot officially be finalized until Feb. 1, but deals will be agreed upon before then, if not signed on the dotted line.

The Liberty have a chance to trade for the Wings' Satou Sabally. With her sister Nyara already in New York, they should make it happen.

New York Liberty’s third annual “Season of Giving” community outreach was so abundant that it lasted until the middle of January.

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.

New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu got a hand up on the competition despite enduring a tough loss in her Unrivaled debut.

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.

New York Liberty stars were unable to withstand a fourth quarter comeback in the debut of the new 3-on-3 league.

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.

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.

The Liberty opted to retain this up and coming guard on their roster via camp contract before the WNBA free agency period.

“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.
