Experts Calvin Wetzel and Aaron Barzilai lock in their best bets for Friday's matchup between the Phoenix Mercury and New York Liberty

The Liberty have the depth to play it extremely safe with Sabally’s tenuous knee. Jonquel Jones is back in action after missing a month with a sprained ankle. Isabelle Harrison, who has been playing a lot better over the past few games, can give the Liberty quality minutes and Breanna Stewart can play a five when needed.

The New York Liberty finally got the best of the Phoenix Mercury thanks in part to a sterling effort from Sabrina Ionescu.

Isabelle Harrison of the New York Liberty spent much of All-Star weekend visiting her brother Daniel in the hospital.

The title was decided in a winner-take-all Game 5. Now, the Liberty are mounting what looks like a very promising title defense. New York is 16-6 and on a four-game winning streak, which puts them at the No. 2 seed (behind the Lynx) if their season were to end today.

According to a report from ESPN on July 21, the New York Liberty signed former 2019 WNBA Finals MVP Emma Meesseman. The 6-foot-4 forward last played in the league during the 2022 season for the Chicago Sky. Meesseman, 32, led the Washington Mystics to the WNBA championship in 2019.

As the Minnesota Lynx keep stretching their lead in the WNBA standings right now, some New York Liberty fans might wonder if New York can overtake Minnesota. Entering the WNBA's second half, the Liberty are 15-6 overall and saw them get bumped up to the No.

WNBA Veteran Released After 16 Games Signs With New Team originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Stephanie Talbot didn’t stay on the market for long. After being waived by the Golden State Valkyries on July 13, the veteran forward has officially signed with the New York Liberty, giving her a fresh opportunity with one of the WNBA’s top contenders.
