NEW YORK, NY - May 14, 2014 - New York Liberty Head Coach and General Manager Bill Laimbeer announced today that the team has waived forward Nicky Anosike and guard Tyaunna Marshall.
A five-year veteran of the WNBA, Anosike missed the 2013 season after playing in just 10 games with the Los Angeles Sparks in 2012.

She has career averages of 8.9 points and 6.6 rebounds in 139 career games.
Marshall was selected by the Liberty in the second round (14th overall) of the 2014 WNBA Draft. A 5-9 guard, she finished her career at Georgia Tech as the team's all-time leading scorer with over 2,000 career points. She was also one of five Georgia Tech players of all-time with more than 1,500 career points and 600 career boards. Marshall appeared in all three preseason games, averaging 2.7 points and 6.0 rebounds per game.
New York opens regular season action against Connecticut on Friday, May 16 at 7 p.m. at Mohegan Sun Arena.
