Overview
- New York reached multiyear agreements Saturday with free agent Satou Sabally and returning center Jonquel Jones, according to ESPN and other outlets.
- Sabally joins Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, and Jones, turning the Liberty’s former Big Three into a Big Four built to chase another title.
- Ionescu received a core designation that gives the Liberty exclusive negotiating rights, and Stewart has said she plans to remain in New York.
- Sabally starred in Phoenix’s 2025 playoff run before a Game 3 Finals concussion, and her current clearance to return has not been reported.
- After injuries and a sharp rebounding drop last season, a frontcourt of Jones, Stewart, and Sabally is designed to stabilize the glass as New York finalizes decisions on veterans Natasha Cloud and Betnijah Laney‑Hamilton.
