New York Liberty 2025 season: 27–17, scoring 84.4 points per game and allowing 80.3 (+4.1 average margin) across 44 games. Updated August 16, 2026.
Scouting report
The Liberty finished 27–17, 4th in the league standings, with a +5.2 net rating that ranked 3rd of 13. They were balanced rather than dominant anywhere — 5th on offense, 6th on defense. Their calling card was shot-making (52.6% eFG, 2nd); the soft spot, offensive rebounding (8.5 a game, 13th). Scoring was spread around — Sabrina Ionescu led at 18.2 a game, but no one accounted for more than 19% of the points, though the on/off numbers point to Breanna Stewart as the one they can least afford to lose — +11.4 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: a 9-game winning streak (May 17–Jun 10) and a 48-point rout of the Sun on Jun 1. The lows: a 4-game losing streak (Jul 26–Aug 1) and a 17-point loss at the Mercury on Aug 30. They went 13–13 against teams at .500 or better and 6–1 in games decided by five or fewer. Bottom line: a solid playoff-caliber team whose ceiling depended on addressing a lack of second chances.
