New York Liberty News Release


NEW YORK - Ahead of today's Game 3 of the 2023 WNBA Finals, the league announced that New York Liberty forward, Breanna Stewart, has been named to the 2023 All-WNBA First Team, and guard, Sabrina Ionescu, was selected to the All-WNBA Second Team.

Stewart, the 2023 Kia WNBA MVP, recorded career-bests of 23.0 points per game and 3.8 assists per game, along with 9.3 rebounds, 1.6 blocks, and 1.5 steals per game on 46.5% from the field, 35.5% from three, and 85.1% from the line. Breanna's four 40-point games in 2023 set the WNBA single-season record, while also tying the all-time WNBA record for career 40-point games.

Ionescu averaged 17.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game in 2023--the only player leaguewide to average at least 16 points, five rebounds, and five assists per game this season. Rewriting the WNBA's three-point record books in both volume and efficiency, Sabrina's 128 three-pointers and 44.8% three-point field goal percentage (min. 200 3PA) set all-time single-season records.

Stewart has now earned five All-WNBA First Team honors, while Ionescu garnered All-WNBA Second Team honors for the second consecutive season. The awards are the sixth and 12th in New York Liberty franchise history, respectively, while marking the third-ever All-WNBA Liberty teammate duo (1997, 2015).
