Liberty Re-Signs Marine Johannes for 2025 Season

The New York Liberty have re-signed French guard Marine Johannes for the 2025 WNBA season, bolstering their backcourt after she helped France secure a silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Johannes, known for her dynamic playmaking and shooting, has been a critical contributor for the Liberty since joining in 2019. She returns after a year-long absence, during which she focused on international competitions, and will add depth to a team aiming to defend its WNBA title. The Liberty's general manager, Jonathan Kolb, praised Johannes for her ability to enhance the team's offensive flexibility. This signing follows the acquisition of Natasha Cloud, strengthening the Liberty's guard lineup after Courtney Vandersloot's departure. Johannes' return is seen as a strategic move to maintain the team's competitiveness and possibly secure another championship.
