Breanna Stewart Re-Signs with Liberty to Anchor 2025 Title Defense

The two-time MVP returns on a one-year deal, solidifying New York’s championship-winning core for another season.

Breanna Stewart has officially re-signed with the New York Liberty on a one-year, $208,400 guaranteed contract for the 2025 WNBA season.
The Liberty used their core designation on Stewart for the second consecutive year, ensuring she cannot be designated again under the current collective bargaining agreement.
Stewart opted for a salary below the supermax threshold to provide financial flexibility for the Liberty to strengthen their roster.
Key players from the 2024 championship team, including Sabrina Ionescu and Jonquel Jones, remain with the Liberty despite some notable departures.
The Liberty bolstered their roster by acquiring Natasha Cloud via trade and re-signing Marine Johannès, positioning themselves as strong contenders for back-to-back titles.
