NEW YORK - The New York Liberty has signed veteran forward, Kayla Thornton, to a multi-year extension through the 2025 season.

Acquired this past off-season in a blockbuster three-team deal with the Connecticut Sun and Dallas Wings, Thornton has been a vital addition to the Liberty's rotation on both ends of the floor. Through 35 contests in 2023, Thornton has posted averages of 4.7 points and 3.5 boards on 44.4% from the field in 17.1 minutes per game.
