The WNBA fined the Liberty and Sabrina Ionescu, Jonquel Jones and Betnijah Laney for violating media access rules after their Finals loss to the Aces.
It's hard to see New York upsetting Chicago in the first round. But the Liberty are as exciting to watch as any team when the offense is clicking.
New York Liberty guard/forward Betnijah Laney played her first game since May in Saturday's loss to the Phoenix Mercury, and the team hopes her return will provide a spark in its push for the postseason.
Betnijah Laney, who is averaging over 14 points and four assists a game for the New York Liberty, is expected to miss the next eight weeks following surgery on her right knee on Wednesday.
