GAME LOG
Continues to come off bench Laney-Hamilton supplied one point (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three assists and one steal over 17 minutes during Wednesday's 97-82 victory over the Tempo.
Impact Laney-Hamilton continues to ease her way back into action after missing time due to a personal matter. She played the most minutes of any bench player, but struggled a bit with her shot. Rookie Pauline Astier continues to play well, so Laney-Hamilton could remain in a reserve role until head coach Chris DeMarco is comfortable enough to make the switch.

Questionable to face Phoenix Laney-Hamilton (personal) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Mercury.

MAY 22 • Associated Press
Ruled out Thursday Laney-Hamilton (personal) is out for Thursday's game against the Valkyries, Madeline Kenney of the New York Post reports.
Impact Laney-Hamilton was absent from Wednesday's practice and it's not immediately clear when she will be back with the team. Sabrina Ionescu (foot) and Satou Sabally (cyst) are game-time decisions for Thursday, so the Liberty could be shorthanded.
MAY 21 • ROTOWIRE
Iffy for Thursday Laney-Hamilton (personal) is questionable for Thursday's game against Golden State.
Impact Laney-Hamilton missed Wednesday's practice while attending to a personal matter, and her status remains uncertain for Thursday. Sabrina Ionescu (foot) and Satou Sabally (cyst) are game-time decisions for Thursday, so each of Pauline Astier, Marine Johannes and Julie Vanloo may need to soak up more playing time.
MAY 20 • ROTOWIRE
Misses practice Tuesday Laney-Hamilton (personal) was absent from Wednesday's practice, Geoff Magliocchetti of Winsidr reports.
Impact It's not clear if Laney-Hamilton will be available for Thursday's game against the Valkyries. The Liberty could get some reinforcements back for Thursday, however, as Sabrina Ionescu (foot) and Satou Sabally (cyst) are game-time decisions.

MAY 15 • Associated Press
Encouraging start to season Laney-Hamilton supplied 10 points (3-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 98-96 loss to the Fire.
Impact After missing all of last year due to left knee surgery, Laney-Hamilton has been thrust right into a starting role for the Liberty and doesn't seem to be facing noticeable restrictions. She has averaged 8.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 26.0 minutes per contest over three games this season, but Laney-Hamilton's fantasy appeal could take a hit once New York gets a bit healthier.
