The New York Liberty entered 2026 as favorites to win the WNBA title. Nine games in, they're 5-4 — and the last two wins came against a 2-7 team while turning the ball over 30+ times. Winning ugly is still winning. But is it enough?
We're going live to break it all down.

🗽 Is Betnijah Laney-Hamilton more valuable  off the bench than in the starting lineup? 
🗽Can Breanna Stewart sustain this workload over a full season? 
🗽 What's the honest assessment of Jonquel Jones so far? 
🗽 And what is the long-term role for rookie Pauline Astier in Chris DeMarco's system?

These are the questions that matter right now — and we're not sugarcoating the answers.

0:00 — Welcome & intro: Is it too early to panic about the Liberty?
1:41 — Guest intro: Jackie Powell joins the show
3:24 — Stewie on managing expectations: "We want to win in October"
5:22 — Jackie's history with Gotta Get Up + breaking down the Phoenix wins
59:24 — Dogs vs. assassins: Does this Liberty team have enough edge?
1:03:40 — Getting Jonquel Jones into her flow state
1:07:52 — The Sabrina Ionescu question: point guard or shooting guard?
1:12:47 — Is it the coach or the roster? Comparing Sandy to Chris DeMarco
1:18:27 — The Tina Charles warning: don't waste this championship window
1:23:47 — Sabally injury concerns & the starting five debate

We're taking a calm, clear-eyed look at the Liberty's 3-4 start — from player performance and roster construction to life under new head coach Chris DeMarco. 

Are Liberty fans right to be worried, or is this a classic early-season overreaction? Ari helps us separate the noise from the real concerns.

And we can't let Ari leave without talking New York basketball at large — because the Knicks just swept the Cavaliers to reach the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999. We're getting her take on what it means for the city.

Plus — you might not know this, but Ari's connection to the Liberty runs deep. Before she was covering women's sports on ESPN, she was a member of the Liberty's Torch Patrol. We're going there.
In this episode:

🗽What the Liberty's 3-4 record actually tells us — and what it doesn't
🗽Player performance and roster questions through the early stretch
🗽What to make of Chris DeMarco's first weeks as head coach
🗽Ari's days on the Liberty Torch Patrol — and what it taught her about this league
🗽The Knicks are going to the NBA Finals — what does Ari think?

🎙️ Guest: Ari Chambers —  Forbes 30 Under 30, SI's 100 Most Influential Women in Sports, former New York Liberty Torch Patrol member

Sabrina Ionescu has been out since rolling her left ankle in the preseason finale against the Connecticut Sun, and while the MRI avoided a "significant" diagnosis, she's missed the first several games of the season. 

The good news? 
She's been back at practice and trending toward a return. When does she step back into the lineup — and what happens to the rotation when she does?

Then there's Satou Sabally — one of the most hyped free agent signings in Liberty history and "The Unicorn" still hasn't played a single minute in blue and orange. She's been sidelined with a cyst, but she too has reportedly been participating in practice. What's the realistic timeline for her debut?

And on the arrivals side: Leonie Fiebich just helped Valencia win the Spanish League championship — so Leo's coming back with even more hardware. 

Meanwhile, Raquel Carrera is also wrapping up her overseas commitment with Valencia before making her way stateside. When can we expect them in the rotation, and what does the roster start to look like once everyone's finally healthy?

ABOUT THE SHOW

Get your weekly New York Liberty fix with hosts Erica L. Ayala and Brian Fleurantin!

But there's still a lot to be excited about. Two preseason games in, we take stock of where this team stands — what's clicking, what still needs work, and which players are making a strong case for themselves heading into the regular season.

Speaking of which: roster cuts are coming. We get into who's fighting for a spot, who's likely safe, and who could be on the bubble as the Liberty finalize their 2025 squad.
It's a big week for Liberty basketball. 

Let's get into it.

The W is back, and we are RIGHT here for it. 🗽

We kick things off with a full breakdown of Saturday's preseason opener at Barclays — the Liberty dropped a 109-91 decision to the Indiana Fever, but honestly? There's a lot to unpack beyond the final score. 

Han Xu lead all Liberty scorers with 20 points in her return to Barclays Center, while Breanna Stewart dropped 16 points and grabbed five rebounds in just TWELVE minutes. 

Caitlin Clark made her return to WNBA action, rookie Raven Johnson turned heads in a big way, and we got our first real look at this new-look Liberty roster with Satou Sabally in the mix.

 We're talking about what we saw, what we liked, and what we're not reading too much into (because it's the preseason, people).

Then we get into the conversation Liberty fans have been waiting on. At Sunday's media day, GM Jonathan Kolb broke the organization's silence on Natasha Cloud — calling her a New York legend, pushing back hard on the narrative that her activism had anything to do with her not returning, and explaining what really happened during free agency. 

We're giving you the full picture, our honest reactions, and the bigger question hanging over all of it: where does Tasha land, and what does the league owe her?

16:33 Han's basketball growth and communication

Brian is LIVE on the scene as the DeMarco era officially begins 
at Barclays Center — and we have a lot to talk about.

🏀 WHAT WE'RE GETTING INTO:

🗽 THE DeMARCO ERA BEGINS
Four NBA championships. Thirteen years with the Golden State 
Warriors. Now he's the 10th head coach in Liberty history. 

Chris DeMarco called this job a "no-brainer" — but what does his system actually look like on the floor? Brian is at camp and we're breaking down first impressions, what's different, and whether a Warriors-influenced system works with this roster.

🗽 THE NEW LOOK LIBERTY
Stewie is back. Sabrina is back. JJ is back. But the roster around them looks very different. Satou Sabally is in Brooklyn after helping Phoenix knock the Liberty out in 2025. Raquel Carrera and Pauline Astier are new faces. And several core pieces from the championship run are gone. What does this team actually look like — and is it better?

🗽 WHERE IS TASH CLOUD?
Natasha Cloud — three-time All-Defensive Team, 2019 champion, 10.1 points and 5.1 assists per game in seafoam last season — is currently not on any WNBA roster. A week before Opening Night. 

She broke her silence on Threads Sunday: "I've given my heart to every team and community I've been part of." 

• How does a player of her caliber end up here? 
• Is the salary cap structure under the new CBA the real issue? 
• Is this about fit? 
• Is there still a team that makes sense? 

We're not just asking the question — we're answering it.

📋 THE FULL 2026 LIBERTY TRAINING CAMP ROSTER:
Returners: Fiebich, Gardner, Ionescu, Johannès, Jones, Stewart

Previously with the Liberty: Allen, Han, Laney-Hamilton

New arrivals: Satou Sabally, Raquel Carrera, Pauline Astier, Marine Fauthoux

Note: Stewart, Johannès, and Erdoğan join next week following the EuroLeague Women's Final Six.

Satou Sabally is headed to Brooklyn on a multiyear deal, reuniting with former Oregon teammate Sabrina Ionescu and forming one of the most loaded frontcourts in WNBA history alongside Breanna Stewart and Jonquel Jones. 

But how does the elder Sabally sister actually FIT? 
Is the Liberty roster too big? What happens when Stewart and Sabally both need to play the four? A
nd what about the concussion that cost her the 2025 Finals — can we really count on her staying healthy?

We also got into the fan favorites whose statuses are still up in the air:
🗽 Natasha Cloud — Tash is an unrestricted free agent. She expressed interest in staying in New York, but the cap math is getting tight. Does she come back? And was she even the right fit?

🗽 Betnijah Laney-Hamilton — BLH missed ALL of 2025 with a torn meniscus. She's a reserved player — meaning she can ONLY negotiate with the Liberty — and she's been counting down the days on her Instagram. The Brooklyn faithful want her back. So do we. What's the update?

🗽 Marine Johannès — The French fan favorite appeared in every single game in 2025 when everyone else was hurt. She's received a qualifying offer from New York. Is she back? What's her role on a suddenly crowded roster?

Plus: new head coach Chris DeMarco, what this roster means for the 2026 championship chase, and whether the Liberty can finally get past the Aces.
👀 Championship or bust?

Gotta Get Up tackles the team’s future as the WNBA’s new CBA rewrites the rules of engagement. Hosts Erica L. Ayala and Brian Florentin break down the potential impacts of increased max salaries, the introduction of developmental roster spots, and vital changes for player movement—including trade protection clauses for pregnant players. 

They weigh in on the franchise’s strategies with Brianna Stewart, Jonquel Jones, Sabrina Ionescu, Banijah Laney Hamilton, and Natasha Cloud all in the free agency and expansion draft mix.

Reactions to a fast and furious off-season, a Final Four recap, and the looming arrival of new expansion teams—like the revived Houston Comets—keep the stakes high. Can Chris DeMarco steer the Liberty through roster shake-ups and a longer season? 

The show examines what the Liberty must do to remain true contenders as they chase glory in the WNBA’s milestone 30th season.

Plus, what must the Liberty do to get back on track and protect home court Tuesday before riding up to Uncasville?

Here are three takeaways and a bonus from the WNBA Playoffs Game 1 at Barclays Center. 

The trio sat down ahead of the start of the 2023 WNBA Playoffs to discuss the first-round matchup between the  @WashMystics (7) and the  @NewYorkLiberty (2). 

We recap how the regular season series went down, who will be the x-factors for each team, and give our BOLD predictions for the series. Check back later for their selections for the 2023 WNBA End-of-Season Awards.

The Liberty host the Mystics on Friday, September 15 at 7:30 PM ET at Barclays Center. 

Later in the week, join us for a special Postgame Preview episode with Brian, Erica, and Misha Jones. 

The trio also discusses how New York played without Sabrina Ionescu (rest, calf) and if we'll see head coach Sandy Brondello opt to rest other players ahead of the playoffs.

Finally, what does Misha think about the Washington Mystics playoff chances given their continued issues with injury this season?
