Liberty Set to Defend Commissioner’s Cup Title Against Lynx in Unfamiliar Venue
Despite injuries and a change of venue, New York Liberty aims to secure another trophy in the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup.
- The Liberty will host the Commissioner’s Cup Championship Game at UBS Arena due to a scheduling conflict.
- New York has the best start in franchise history with a 15-3 record, led by star players Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, and Jonquel Jones.
- Injuries have sidelined key players like Courtney Vandersloot and Betnijah Laney-Hamilton, but the team remains resilient.
- The Minnesota Lynx, with MVP candidate Napheesa Collier, pose a significant challenge having already defeated the Liberty this season.
- Both teams enter the game on winning streaks, with the Liberty having won 11 of their last 12 games.
