Overview

• General manager Jonathan Kolb said he has the utmost confidence Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu and Jonquel Jones want to stay with the Liberty, echoing Stewart’s on-record pledge to return and Ionescu’s stated interest.
• The Liberty have parted ways with head coach Sandy Brondello and opened a search for her successor, which Kolb said must be finalized before major roster moves.
• Kolb called the offseason a massive opportunity but noted unresolved CBA talks leave roster size, cap details and negotiation timing uncertain with the possibility of a lockout.
• He cautioned that 2026 could feature widespread unrestricted free agency and larger contracts fueled by new national TV money, creating potential for significant player movement.
• Kolb expressed interest in re-signing Emma Meesseman pending the new coach’s plans, and said Nyara Sabally will rehab her right knee this offseason while Leonie Fiebich played through a confirmed rib fracture in Game 3.
