Michaela Onyenwere

As a rookie last season, Onyenwere averaged 8.6 points and 2.9 rebounds in 22.5 minutes per game. She shot 40.1 percent from the field, 32.7 percent from three and 83.6 percent from the free-throw line. She reportedly suffered a nasal fracture in an early-January training session, but the issue isn't expected to impact her status for the 2022 WNBA season. With the Liberty's core – Sabrina Ionescu, Natasha Howard, Sami Whitcomb, Betnijah Laney – in place, the second-year forward figures to compete for the final starting spot with Stefanie Dolson and Rebecca Allen, though all three will likely be critical members of New York's rotational depth.
