In 2025, they were reigning WNBA champions. In 2026, they have something to prove. So begins a massive season for the big-market, big-name New York Liberty. To avenge last fall’s first-round playoff exit, the Liberty will need strident performances from their perennial All-Stars. Sabrina Ionescu brings 3-point prowess on the perimeter. Breanna Stewart racks up buckets, boards and blocks from the post. Jonquel Jones stretches the floor as a polished, versatile center. And new signee Satou Sabally
