Liberty`s Bold Move for Stewart in WNBA Free Agency

The New York Liberty has made a strategic decision in the WNBA free agency by extending a core qualifying offer to Breanna Stewart, who was poised to become an unrestricted free agent. This offer positions the Liberty to secure Stewart with a one-year, fully guaranteed supermax contract potentially worth up to $249,244. This move underscores the team's commitment to retaining Stewart, especially after her pivotal role in leading the Liberty to victory in the 2024 WNBA finals. Additionally, Stewart is set to participate in the inaugural season of the Unrivaled 3x3 league, which kicks off this Friday.

In other free agency developments, Satou Sabally has confirmed she will not be returning to the Dallas Wings. She is now being considered a strong candidate for either the Indiana Fever or the New York Liberty. Sabally has made a notable impact in her WNBA career, averaging 15.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 3.6 assists. If she joins the Fever, she could create a formidable trio alongside Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston. However, the Liberty, featuring Sabrina Ionescu, also present a compelling option for Sabally.

The WNBA season is set to resume following a pause for the 2024 All-Star Game and the Olympics. While specific dates and scores for upcoming games have not been disclosed, the New York Liberty currently leads the league standings, followed closely by the Connecticut Sun, Seattle Storm, and Las Vegas Aces. Individual accolades such as MVP and Rookie of the Year remain competitive, with A'ja Wilson leading the MVP race and Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese vying for the Rookie of the Year title.
