New York Liberty release Betnijah Laney-Hamilton, sign Marine Fauthoux
Betnijah Laney-Hamilton appeared in 17 games this season as New York added Marine Fauthoux after her developmental-game eligibility expired.
- On Thursday, August 6, the New York Liberty released forward Betnijah Laney-Hamilton and signed guard Marine Fauthoux to a multi-year deal, reshaping their roster.
- Laney-Hamilton, a starter on the 2024 title team, fell out of favor this year after returning from a knee injury, appearing in only 17 of 32 games.
- During her tenure, Laney-Hamilton played 126 regular-season games, averaging 12.4 points and 3.5 rebounds; her final appearance was July 12, when she was ejected against Toronto Tempo.
- Liberty GM Jonathan Kolb said the move gives Laney-Hamilton "the best opportunity to pursue a larger basketball role," while Fauthoux was nearing the 12-game developmental limit.
- Now an unrestricted free agent, the 32-year-old Laney-Hamilton is free to sign elsewhere after playing this season on a $400,000 protected veteran contract.
