The Liberty's free agency signing of Emma Meesseman brings about a major change in how the rest of their offseason is expected to go.

Liberty forward Emma Meesseman was beaming Tuesday night as she stood near center court and looked at the jubilant scene unfolding around her.

Meesseman, a double-double threat and great outside shooter, was a no-brainer signing, and Minnesota Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve was open about her team’s pursuit of her. New York securing her addition elevated their championship odds, particularly given the fact that Breanna Stewart and Jonquel Jones have both battled injuries this season.
