Isiah Thomas was named president of the Liberty of the W.N.B.A. on Wednesday, in a move that reunites him with James L. Dolan, his former boss with the Knicks.
“Isiah has been advising the team, and we are very pleased with the results,” said Dolan, executive chairman of Madison Square Garden, which owns both the Knicks and the Liberty. “Now, we’ve agreed that it is time for him to take a lead role with the team as president, and through his ownership interest. He’s an excellent judge of talent, and I’m confident that he will put all of his energy and experience into making the Liberty a perennially competitive and successful team.
