French combo guard Marine Johann\u00e8s will rejoin the Liberty this summer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The reigning WNBA champions announced Friday that they re-signed Johann\u00e8s.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a one-year deal worth $78,831, a source told The Post.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a statement, general manager Jonathan Kolb said re-upping Johann\u00e8s is a \u201cspecial opportunity\u201d because of her belief in the team\u2019s vision since her arrival in 2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMarine\u2019s floor spacing and dynamic ability to create scoring opportunities for herself and others will add another dimension to our offense in 2025,\u201d Kolb said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Johann\u00e8s\u2019 signing comes just days after the Liberty traded two first-round picks, including No. 7 overall in 2025, to the Sun for Natasha Cloud.<\/p>\n
Cloud\u2019s arrival, paired with Johann\u00e8s\u2019 return, puts the Liberty in position to put up a formidable defense for the 2024 title.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Johann\u00e8s, 30, was the Liberty\u2019s sixth player in 2023 and helped them to the Finals that year. <\/p>\n
But she sat out last season and helped the French national team earn silver at the 2024 Paris Olympics, averaging 11.7 points, 2.2 assists and two rebounds in six games.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This will be Johann\u00e8s fourth season in the WNBA. <\/p>\n
She joined New York in 2019 but sat out 2020 (opted out of pandemic bubble) and 2021 (Olympics.)\u00a0<\/p>\n
Johann\u00e8s has started 15 of her 78 WNBA contests, averaging eight points, 2.4 assists and 1.6 rebounds while shooting 43.7 percent from the field and 39.5 percent from deep.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With the Liberty\u2019s guard depth set, the last remaining item to check off this offseason is re-signing Breanna Stewart, whom New York designated as a core player.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
