The New York Liberty are back in the Commissioner’s Cup final — a major milestone that often signals a WNBA Finals run. With a seven-game win streak, a fully healthy roster, and a history of success (including last year’s championship), they’re riding high. The tournament, revived in 2021, has become a strong predictor of playoff contenders, and the Liberty’s past finals appearances — including a win in 2023 that led to the WNBA title — prove the momentum is real. Players like Jonquel Jones are confident, noting how many past Cup finalists end up in the Finals. The Liberty await their opponent — Las Vegas or Minnesota, tied atop the West — with the host spot decided by winning percentage and point differential. Meanwhile, ESPN’s new Toronto team series, Las Vegas’ top ranking, and a historic Sunday rematch against LA Sparks (celebrating the WNBA’s 30th anniversary) add to the league’s electric buzz.
