Overview

  • The New York Liberty re-signed guard/forward Betnijah Laney-Hamilton before training camp.
  • General manager Jonathan Kolb called her foundational and said she is as healthy as she has been in years.
  • She missed the entire 2025 season after a meniscus knee injury in the Unrivaled 3x3 offseason league.
  • During the 2024 title run, she averaged 11.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.3 assists with 45.6% shooting from the field, 40.2% from three and 90.6% at the line.
  • The move comes as New York builds its roster in a shortened free-agency window created by a late CBA, with Satou Sabally signed and Jonquel Jones re-signed earlier this offseason.
