Emma Meesseman Set to Join New York Liberty

Emma Meesseman, the 2019 WNBA Finals MVP and two-time All-Star, is set to join the defending champion New York Liberty, pending completion of her visa process. Meesseman, who last played in the WNBA in 2022 with the Chicago Sky, brings a decorated international career highlighted by three consecutive EuroLeague MVP awards and a recent EuroBasket MVP after leading Belgium to the title. She chose the Liberty over offers from the Minnesota Lynx and Phoenix Mercury. The Liberty roster, already featuring stars Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, and Jonquel Jones (who is returning from injury), will require a roster adjustment to accommodate her arrival. Meesseman is expected to provide immediate impact and depth, positioning the Liberty as strong contenders for back-to-back WNBA titles.
