The New York Liberty are locking in their championship core for the long haul. In a massive move that solidifies their status as a WNBA dynasty-in-the-making, the franchise announced Friday that superstars Sabrina Ionescu, Jonquel Jones, and Breanna Stewart have all signed multi-year contracts to remain in Brooklyn.
This trio was the engine behind the Liberty's dominant 2024 championship run, and their collective decision to re-sign signals a powerful commitment to chasing more titles. "This is an incredibly historic moment for the New York Liberty franchise," said General Manager Jonathan Kolb. "Re‑signing Breanna, Jonquel, and Sabrina reflects the trust, sacrifice, and shared purpose that define what it means to represent the Liberty."
The news comes as no surprise to fans who followed Ionescu's recent comments at USA Basketball camp, where she made her intentions clear. "Obviously, I’m where I’m supposed to be," Ionescu stated. "Never thought anything different, and I’m so excited to be able to sign and get started."
Since being drafted first overall in 2020, Ionescu has blossomed into a four-time All-Star, forming one of the league's most dynamic partnerships with Breanna Stewart. Despite a down year from three-point range last season, her scoring, playmaking, and sheer gravity on the court remain elite. Alongside her, the frontcourt duo of Stewart and the 6-foot-6 Jonquel Jones has been virtually unstoppable. Jones's combination of size, skill, and defensive presence—averaging 13.6 points and 8.6 rebounds last season—makes her a nightmare matchup for any opponent.
With their "Big Three" officially secured, the Liberty have sent a thunderous message to the rest of the WNBA: the road to the title still runs through New York. The foundation for a lasting legacy is firmly in place.
