Liberty's Betnijah Laney-Hamilton Faces Long Recovery After Knee Surgery

The star forward is expected to miss most of the 2025 WNBA season, prompting roster changes as the team prepares for its title defense.

Betnijah Laney-Hamilton underwent surgery earlier this month to repair an acute meniscus injury sustained during the Unrivaled 3-on-3 league.
The surgery, performed at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, comes with a five-to-six-month recovery timeline.
Laney-Hamilton's absence will likely sideline her for the majority, if not all, of the 2025 WNBA season.
The New York Liberty have re-signed Marine Johannes, traded for Natasha Cloud, and are preparing Leonie Fiebich for an expanded role in her absence.
The Liberty's training camp begins April 27, with their season opener set for May 17 against the Las Vegas Aces.
