The New York Liberty have added Elizabeth Balogun to their roster, signing her to a developmental player contract on August 19, 2026. The 6'1 forward, who previously played for Duke University, now joins the team after a distinguished collegiate and international career. Balogun's versatility in both shooting and perimeter defense is expected to fill a critical need as the team continues its season.
Although her role remains to be determined, Balogun's experience and skills make her a valuable addition. Having also excelled for the Nigerian national team, where she showcased her scoring ability and all-around game, Balogun is poised to make an impact in her new environment. Joining her is fellow developmental player Anneli Maley, who was recently named MVP of the WNBL, Australia's top women's basketball league. The Liberty, currently sitting at 22-14, continue to build their roster for the upcoming season.
