Overview
- Breanna Stewart said Wednesday on her podcast she will stay with the New York Liberty, and Sabrina Ionescu told reporters she plans to re-sign.
- Neither deal is signed yet and the Liberty have not released contract terms or an official team announcement.
- The new collective bargaining agreement lifts the team cap to about $7 million and raises the supermax to roughly $1.4 million, making both stars eligible for record pay.
- New York still has only Nyara Sabally and Leonie Fiebich under contract as key contributors Jonquel Jones, Natasha Cloud and Emma Meesseman enter free agency.
- A compressed April free-agency window and a two-team expansion draft will speed up decisions for the Liberty and the rest of the league.
