Sabrina Ionescu first double-double of the season and Emma Meesseman's awaited debut helped end the Liberty's longest losing streak in three calendar years, as New York avenged a Friday defeat to the Connecticut Sun with an 87-78 victory on Sunday at Mohegan Sun Arena.

Emma Meesseman is officially returning to WNBA action. The New York Liberty’s newest addition will suit up tonight against the Connecticut Sun, a much-needed reinforcement as Breanna Stewart remains sidelined without a clear return timetable.

The New York Liberty officially signed former WNBA Finals MVP Emma Meesseman on Friday in a major boost to their repeat hopes. Meesseman, who has not played in the WNBA since 2022, decided to join the Liberty last month, but had to wait for her visa application to be processed.
