WNBA Finals MVP Emma Meesseman Debuts for New York Liberty Amid Injuries

News summary

Emma Meesseman, the 2019 WNBA Finals MVP, has made a highly anticipated return to the league by signing with the New York Liberty for the final two months of the 2025 season. After a two-year hiatus during which she excelled overseas, winning multiple EuroLeague titles and MVPs, Meesseman brings championship experience and versatile scoring ability to a Liberty team currently without star Breanna Stewart due to injury. Meesseman chose New York for its familiar environment and strong team chemistry, joining a roster that includes Sabrina Ionescu and Jonquel Jones, and she is expected to start immediately to help fill the void left by Stewart. The Liberty, second in the standings, see Meesseman's arrival as a critical boost in their pursuit of a repeat championship, despite a recent three-game losing streak. Although initially expected to play limited minutes as she acclimates, head coach Sandy Brondello and GM Jonathan Kolb have praised Meesseman’s skill, leadership, and impact on team dynamics. Her return underscores the growing appeal of the WNBA and adds excitement to the league's competitive landscape for the remainder of the season.
