Emma Meesseman Will Join the Liberty in Her Return to the WNBA, AP Source Says

NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, JUL 21 – Emma Meesseman, a former WNBA Finals MVP and two-time All-Star, is set to join the Liberty as they aim to repeat as champions, pending visa approval.

  • The 2019 Finals MVP and two-time All-Star has agreed to join the New York Liberty team starting in 2025.
  • Since last competing in the WNBA during the 2022 season, Meesseman has concentrated on leading Belgium to a EuroBasket championship last month, where she earned consecutive MVP awards.
  • The Liberty, defending WNBA champions with stars like Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, and Jonquel Jones, will integrate Meesseman pending her visa process and roster space availability.
  • In 2022 with the Chicago Sky, Meesseman contributed solidly across the board, scoring in double digits while also providing rebounds and assists, and her 6-foot-4 frame adds valuable defensive versatility and playmaking skills to the Liberty lineup.
  • Her signing strengthens New York’s bid to repeat as WNBA champions, although the Liberty must make a roster move to accommodate her pro-rated max contract.
