The New York Liberty and Seattle Storm made significant moves on the first day of WNBA free agency, as they both aimed to strengthen their rosters for the upcoming season. The Liberty, fresh off their appearance in the WNBA Finals last year, are highly interested in signing prized free agent Nneka Ogwumike. Meanwhile, the Storm secured the services of Skylar Diggins-Smith, who is set to make her return to the league after sitting out last season due to childbirth.
The New York Liberty, led by their core group, have set their sights on adding Nneka Ogwumike to their talented roster. Ogwumike, who has spent her entire career with the Los Angeles Sparks, made it clear that she would be playing elsewhere this season. Sources reveal that the Liberty have already met with Ogwumike, although negotiations are still ongoing. The team is also expected to retain key players such as Breanna Stewart and Betnijah Laney, who were spotted with Ogwumike attending a recent NBA game.
