The Liberty will host several exciting theme nights at The Garden throughout the season, including a special Ring of Honor Night on Sunday, Aug. 2 to honor Becky Hammon, a Liberty legend and the first-ever full-time female NBA assistant coach. Hammon will be honored during a special halftime presentation and will officially become part of the Liberty’s Ring of Honor, which represents retired players who have made significant contributions to the team’s tradition of excellence and to the growth of the WNBA.
“I spent eight incredible years as a member of the Liberty and I’m looking forward to thanking the organization and the fans,” said Hammon. “I will always have a special place in my heart for New York because they gave me my first opportunity, and I’m so grateful to be able to go back and be inducted into the team’s Ring of Honor.”
The Liberty will open the season on Friday, June 5 at Madison Square Garden, hosting the Atlanta Dream at 7:30 p.m. The home opener, presented by Kia, will feature a free giveaway to the first 5,000 fans.
