"We could not be more excited to welcome Natasha Cloud to the New York Liberty family," said Jonathan Kolb, General Manager, New York Liberty. "Tash is someone who we identified years ago as a prime fit for our team and embodies everything we look for in a player."

Kolb continued: "She has always left a lasting impression on the Barclays Center crowd, and we look forward to seeing the best fans in the WNBA embrace her on a nightly basis. Tash will undoubtedly strengthen our roster on both sides of the ball as we pursue another title in 2025."

Additionally, Natasha appeared in seven postseasons between 2015-2024.
