Rebuilding isn’t fun. It’s a long, arduous process that takes time and requires your favorite team take a lot of lumps along the way. For the New York Liberty, it’s something they’ve had to live with since the beginning of the 2018 season.
Since the start of the 2018 season, the Liberty have gone 17-51, worst in the WNBA across the past two years. They had made the playoffs three straight seasons prior to that. There was a stretch in late June to early July where the team went on a nice streak, but the season was marred by two extensive losing streaks that hamstrung their playoff chances.
