The Liberty plan to use the core designation on Breanna Stewart, keeping her away from becoming an unrestricted free agent.
The New York Liberty intend to designate Breanna Stewart as core so she will not become an unrestricted free agent, according to Liberty general manager Jonathan Kolb.
The core acts like a franchise tag in the NFL: Once the Liberty officially core Stewart, she cannot sign a contract directly with another team. "She's a player that we definitely want to retain, and we'll continue those talks into the offseason," Kolb said. Added Stewart:"This isn't the goal that we had at the start of the season. We didn't want to just get to the Finals. We weren't content with being one game away from winning the whole thing. But we wanted to win and really just building off of that and not forgetting what it feels like to be here."
"We're close. We've beaten Vegas many times this year, not one time. It wasn't a fluke," coach Sandy Brondello said, referring also to New York's three wins over the Aces in August."It means that we're right there. So it's all the 1% that we need to do better. It's not like reinvent the whole wheel. I think we're on the right track. I think we play the right way.
Ionescu revealed that she needed an injection to be able to play the first two Finals games in Las Vegas after suffering a hip injury in the final game of the Connecticut series.
