The New York Liberty are making waves as they head into the WNBA playoffs this year, aiming for their first-ever championship. They’ve secured the No. 1 seed after an impressive season, winning 32 games—only the second team in history to achieve this after the 2023 Las Vegas Aces. Remember, the Liberty faced the Aces in last year’s finals, where they fell short in a 3-1 series.
This season, the Liberty are led by standout players Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, and Jonquel Jones, giving them a solid chance to compete. The entire team, including their beloved mascot Ellie the Elephant, is gearing up to light up Barclays Center as they chase the championship.
