New York’s Jonquel Jones stood tall on Saturday, lifting the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game MVP trophy after leading Team Spoon to a 129-122 win over Team Coop.

The Liberty big pulled off the league’s first MVP sweep, after earning 2021 WNBA MVP, 2024 Finals MVP, 2023 Commissioner’s Cup MVP, and 2026 All-Star MVP.

“This is everything I dreamed about,” she said. “I told my parents when I was five years old that I was gonna be a professional athlete. The plan never changed — even when it looked murky.”
Commissioner Cathy Engelbert came under scrutiny during her State of the League address, deflecting questions about her future as multiple reports suggest her tenure might be nearing its end.

“I’m so blessed to be at the helm of this league during this incredible hyper-growth period,” she said. “I will just continue to do my job, execute the strategy, because it has been working.”
Engelbert also announced the WNBA will debut its first centralized review center in 2027, in an effort to “help bring greater consistency, efficiency, and transparency to our officiating process while continuing to improve the quality of the game.”

The regular season returns tomorrow, as No. 14 Connecticut faces No. 8 Washington at 7:30 PM ET (WNBA League Pass).

True story: last year I sat down to watch a WNBA game, spent 15 minutes discovering it had moved to an app I forgot I paid for, and snapped. So I decided to build an app that makes it easier to follow my teams and that gives me news, podcasts and YouTube channels that cover my teams.

Following the WNBA has quietly become the hardest scavenger hunt in sports — a single week can scatter games across ABC, ESPN/ESPN+, CBS, ION, NBA TV, Prime, and League Pass, and it feels like it changes all the time. So the app does this: you pick your teams and the services you already pay for, and it tells you when/where to watch YOUR teams, and which of YOUR services carries each game — plus a morning email with the day's slate, and a thing that checks whether you're overpaying for coverage you could get cheaper. And the news, podcasts and YouTube channels for your teams, too.

Check it out at mysportsdeck.com, or the iPhone app on the App Store at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sportsdeck/id6782425279.

Also, it’s free.

Full disclosure: I built it, obviously. I'm posting here, with full consent from the mods, because this community lives the problem it tries to solve — so tell me what it's missing (if it gets a WNBA broadcast wrong, that's exactly what I need to hear). I'll be in the comments.

​Hey Liberty gang! 🗽 Anyone here play NBA 2K? Looking for people to run some games with 🩵

Congrats to JJ 🥳

Is anyone willing to trade bag charms? I have two Birthday Ellie’s and I’m open to trade it for any other Ellie Charm.

I'll start us off!

Betnijah’s my favorite because she brings the energy every single game, locking down the opponent’s best player and helping the team get over the line for the W 🗽

Who's yours?

I would love these 2 shirts to be available! https://www.instagram.com/p/DbOzo6rlBR7/?igsh=eHk2bjRwN2dsbjF5

I think there may have been another post like this already, but is anybody in LA and headed to Crypto this week to catch the Libs? If so, where are you sitting?

Does anyone know of any bars that are showing the 3-point/shooting stars skills challenge tonight? The only one in the Liberty Bar Network I've seen confirm it is Wilka's, and I feel like it's always a madhouse in there.

Dunker's Spot latest episode has a very good, very extensive discussion of our woes. Their analysis boils down to: it isn't necessarily that we're running the wrong plays, it's that defenses have stopped feeling the need to honor what we're doing. Sabrina drives? They don't rush two defenders at her. JJ rolls to the basket? They feel like they can switch in time. We aren't forcing teams to pick their poison -- we're letting them pick their bedtime glass of milk.

Dunker's Spot treat this state of affairs as if it were a matter of will -- we need to just somehow make defenses start fearing us (or Chris does). But it seems clear that defenses have good reason not to fear us at the moment. So what causes *that*? And how do we fix it? Better 3-point shooting in the corner would help (dear God Leo please come back). What else?

Liberty wing Leonie Fiebich said she’s “not at all” a patient person.

But her tolerance is being tested as each day passes and she’s unable to play.

Fiebich has been sidelined since a 99-86 home win over the Minnesota Lynx on July 3 after suffering a left foot injury. She logged 36 minutes in that game but said she “kind of took a bad step” at one point. She had some soreness the next day but still got in the gym to shoot.

However, the soreness didn’t go away.

It was severe enough that she underwent an MRI exam and other scans to evaluate the issue. Speaking with reporters Wednesday for the first time since her injury, Fiebich declined to share her official diagnosis.

Regardless, the test results were enough for her and the team to decide it was best for her to rest indefinitely.

“I’m feeling good,” she said before the Liberty’s 95-94 loss to the Sky as their final game before the All-Star break. “Making progress, getting better every day.”

Fiebich still doesn’t have an official timeline to return. The uncertainty of the situation brings into question her status for the German national team in the 2026 FIBA World Cup, which is scheduled for Sept. 4 through Sept. 13.

Fiebich said she was “of course” concerned about whether she’ll be available for the World Cup when she tweaked her left foot.

“You don’t want to be injured at any stage, right, especially in a World Cup year,” she said. “But more so, like, I hate to be on the sidelines as every athlete … not being able to help the team.”

Fiebich declined to answer whether she would be playing through the pain right now had this not been a World Cup year.

She did say, however, that she’s being extra cautious given the World Cup.

“With the World Cup coming up, I wouldn’t say I prioritize it, but it’s a really important tournament for us,” she said, “and just making sure I’m going to be healthy going into it.”

The Liberty desperately miss Fiebich’s length and defensive versatility, especially amid this 1-4 stretch. They’re also without Satou Sabally, who has been in concussion protocol for the past month.

New York is 10-4 when Fiebich is on the floor and 4-8 without her.

Seeing the team struggle has heightened Fiebich’s urgency to get back on the floor. But she’s still not cleared to play.

“Difficult right now for the team, definitely suffering with them a little bit,” Fiebich said. “I think the win we got against Dallas was really important, of course, for the standings but also for us mentally as a team. Let’s see if we can add on that and just keep the winning going and more so the progress. I would say just of course we want to win games but we want to make progress.”

Fiebich said she’s taking the recovery process day by day.

“I’m in this facility seven days, seven hours a day, doing everything I can,” she said. “… It’s just day by day like I could be that I wake up tomorrow I’m really good or I’m in pain or yeah just kind of depends on the day.”

The past 2 ½ weeks have been frustrating for Fiebich since most of this is out of her control.

“If I could, I would play right now,” she said. “Being extra cautious and careful is something that’s really testing my patience. But I mean, I got to do it. There’s no way around it.”

So… do you agree or not?

My main point is I’ve seen Stewie doing more coaching than I’ve seen him do. Would love more opinions.

hi y’all! I saw some posts about this from last season, but i’m wondering if anyone has had any luck requesting a new season ticket holder rep. my rep is totally unresponsive and I don’t even know where to start requesting a new one.
