The New York Liberty sold a record assessment for a women's sports team

The New York Liberty is one of the eight original franchises of the WNBA, which was founded in 1997. Although the Liberty was a WNBA championship, it only won a WNBA championship in 2024. The team wrote the story this season, and the franchise again hit the record book the time for an off-the-court step.

The team owners Joe Tsai and Clara Wu Tsai were currently selling a minority stake in the team. Although the total amount is unknown, the percentage in the “middle of the teenagers” should be worth. The deal estimates freedom at $ 450 million in the highest rating for a women-pro-sports franchise.

After the sale, the Tsais will use the money to build a 75,000 square meter exercise in Brooklyn for freedom. The team has been playing in the Barclays Center since 2019 and shares a home with the Brooklyn Nets-, which are also owned in the TSAIS majority.

The Tsais bought the Liberty six years ago for $ 10 million and $ 14 million. That makes the freedom between the value 32 and 45 -more as what they were last sold for.

This sale shows how valuable the WNBA has become. Although the early seasons of the league fought when she found herself, it continued to popularity, especially in the period after the ball time. NBA players also regularly show more support. Stephen Curry had a legendary shootout with Sabrina Ionescu during the All-Star game in 2024, while the star of Indiana Pacers Tyrese Haliburton in an Indiana fever game in his open day in the Eastern Conference's finals was on the square of Caitlin Clark and Co.

Freedom was one of the highlights of the league during the recent boom. Ionescu and Breanna Stewart, two of the biggest stars in the league, lead the squad. And the Liberty also built up the success of last season with a hot start this year. Could an aspiring dynasty be in the works?

If it repeats freedom, this only increases its value – and attention to it.
