Overview
- Emma Meesseman, the 2019 WNBA Finals MVP, has agreed to join the defending champion Liberty after two seasons overseas and an MVP showing at EuroBasket.
- The 6-foot-4 forward last played in the league in 2022 with the Chicago Sky, averaging 12.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game.
- New York must complete Meesseman’s visa application and free up a roster spot after signing forward Stephanie Talbot earlier Monday.
- Meesseman chose the Liberty over the Minnesota Lynx and Phoenix Mercury, reinforcing a frontcourt that includes Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu and Jonquel Jones.
- Once cleared to play, she will join New York’s bid to become only the fourth franchise—and second in 20 years—to defend a WNBA title.
