Emma Meesseman’s WNBA Comeback Powers Up the New York Liberty
Alright, let’s talk about something big shaking up the WNBA right now—Emma Meesseman is officially coming back, and not just anywhere, but to the defending champions, the New York Liberty. If you’ve followed the league even a little over the past decade, you know that when Meesseman steps on the court, she changes the game.

Now, it's been a minute since we’ve seen her in a WNBA uniform. She last played in 2022 with the Chicago Sky, where she averaged a solid 12.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game. Before that, she spent seven impactful seasons with the Washington Mystics, and let’s not forget—she was the 2019 WNBA Finals MVP, leading the Mystics to their first-ever championship. That alone put her in elite territory.
Her return to the W is highly anticipated, and she had options. Word is she was considering the Minnesota Lynx and Phoenix Mercury as well, but ultimately chose to commit to New York. And if you're wondering what kind of shape she’s in—don't. She’s been dominating internationally. This summer, she led Belgium in EuroBasket and has racked up accolades like two Olympic All-Star Five selections, multiple EuroBasket MVPs, and three straight EuroLeague MVP honors. She’s been nothing short of brilliant overseas.
So, what does this mean for the Liberty? Well, they were already stacked. I’m talking Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, Jonquel Jones—who’s just getting back from injury—and now they’re adding Meesseman to the mix. That’s borderline unfair. It's like giving an already elite team a secret weapon for the final stretch. Meesseman won’t even need to carry the load immediately. She can ease into the rotation and then ramp up as the playoffs near.
This move isn’t just about talent—it's about timing and momentum. The Liberty are chasing something rare: back-to-back championships. Only three franchises have ever done it, and Meesseman’s arrival might just be the spark that takes them there.
So yeah, keep your eyes on New York. Meesseman is back, and the Liberty’s championship push just got a whole lot more serious.
