Per reports from Doug Feinberg of the Associated Press, Brooklyn Nets minority owner Joseph Tsai is set to purchase the New York Liberty. According to Feinberg, the WNBA Board of Governors has approved the sal, and is waiting for final approval from the NBA Board of Governors before an official announcement is made.
The Liberty were put up for sale in November 2017 by James Dolan and the Madison Square Garden Company. They are one of two original WNBA franchises that remain in their original markets, the others being the Los Angeles Sparks and Phoenix Mercury.
