Liberty struggle as they lose on Opening Night to the Mystics

If you ever catch your favorite artist on tour, chances are the first night is gonna be a bit choppy. The setlist isn’t all the way locked in, the band is trying to find the perfect rhythm, and the artists are ironing things out for the remainder of the tour. The first night tends to be rocky, but it’s a long way to go.

The New York Liberty shook everything up from 2022. They brought in Breanna Stewart, Courtney Vandersloot, and Jonquel Jones to form a formidable starting five alongside Betnijah Laney and Sabrina Ionescu. Throughout training camp, the Liberty mentioned that it would take time to get everything where they wanted it to be.
