The New York Liberty have won the 2026 Commissioner's Cup championship, becoming the first repeat champions since the in-season tournament launched in 2021 Sabrina Ionescu and Breanna Stewart (the latter a 3x Cup champ) were stellar with a combined 51 points

Remember when there were people thinking winning the in-season WNBA or NBA tournaments were a jinx? (*- it was me. I was people.)

As a pessimist, I feel like this will just activate the LVA guards to go off and tear apart the perimeter D. As someone who is often wrong, hopefully I am. 🗽 #WNBA

Um, I guess nice effort to have the graphic ready, but I'm pretty sure that's Alex Fowler right in the middle, who played two games for New York - neither of which were Commissioner's Cup games - and isn't currently on the roster. But sure. #WNBA
