Liberty Re-Signs Breanna Stewart for Roster Flexibility

Breanna Stewart, a two-time WNBA MVP, has re-signed with the New York Liberty for the 2025 season on a one-year, $208,400 contract, opting for less than a supermax deal to allow roster flexibility. General Manager Jonathan Kolb emphasized Stewart's pivotal role in the team's success, both on and off the court, as the Liberty aim to defend their championship title. Stewart, who led the Liberty to their first WNBA championship last year, remains a key part of the team's core alongside stars Sabrina Ionescu and Jonquel Jones. The Liberty also acquired veteran guard Natasha Cloud and re-signed Marine Johannès, strengthening their roster for the upcoming season. Stewart's commitment to New York is underscored by her leadership and impact, as well as the team's plans to build a new training facility in Brooklyn. The Liberty will begin their title defense against the Las Vegas Aces on May 17.
