The Liberty’s Big 3 are back — and they’ll be sticking around for a while.Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu and Jonquel Jones each signed three-year contracts running through 2028 to return to the Liberty, according to The Post’s Madeline Kenney.Financial terms were not immediately known.It’s likely the three players took something less than their maximum possible seven-figure salaries under the WNBA’s new collective bargaining agreement.
“This is an incredibly historic moment for the New York Liberty franchise,” general manager Jonathan Kolb said in a statement.“Re-signing Breanna, Jonquel and Sabrina reflects the trust, sacrifice and shared purpose that define what it means to represent the Liberty, this city and our fanbase.
