Impact Although Han replaced Rebekah Gardner in the first unit, she didn't find much success Sunday. Across 24 games this season, she's averaging 5.4 points, 2.0 rebounds and 0.6 blocks in 12.5 minutes per contest.

Starting against Toronto Han will start in Sunday's game versus Toronto.

Impact With Leonie Fiebich (foot) sidelined, Rebekah Gardner started in the Liberty's last two contests. However, Gardner will move back to the bench Sunday, with Han returning to the starting lineup for the first time since the 89-80 win over the Sun on June 8. In that contest, Han finished with a season-high 14 points while adding six rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 22 minutes.

Limited to eight minutes Han had two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and three rebounds in eight minutes during Tuesday's 88-77 loss to the Wings.

Impact Han continues to be used very sparingly by the Liberty. Across 22 games this season, she's averaging 5.4 points, 2.1 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 12.0 minutes per contest.

JULY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Provides scoring punch off bench Han provided 12 points (4-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds over 13 minutes during Tuesday's 87-76 win over Las Vegas.

Impact Han has played a limited role for much of the season but stepped up with a stellar performance off the bench in which she didn't miss a shot. Entering Saturday's game, the center had scored in double figures just once, doing so in a spot start June 8 against Connecticut. Overall, Han is averaging 5.5 points and 2.3 rebounds in 12.6 minutes per contest across 18 appearances.

Back to bench Thursday Xu isn't listed in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Dream.

Impact Xu made her first career start in Monday's 89-80 win over Connecticut, finishing with 14 points, six rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 22 minutes. However, with Jonquel Jones (illness) returning from a one-game absence, Xu will move back to the bench.

JUNE 11 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 14 points in start Xu ended Monday's 89-80 win over the Sun with 14 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 22 minutes.

Impact Xu made the start with Jonquel Jones (illness) unavailable due to illness. She did a good job, posting the second-highest total of the evening for the Liberty in a road victory, and she was one of four starters to hit a three-pointer while posting two of the team's four blocks. She is a low-end fantasy option when coming off the bench, but she is worth a roll of the dice, particularly in DFS, if she gets another start.

Starting sans Jones Han will start Monday's game against the Sun, Madeline Kenney of the New York Post reports.

Impact With Jonquel Jones (illness) out, Han will get the starting nod for the first time in her career. Through 11 regular-season appearances in 2026, she's averaging 5.2 points and 2.5 rebounds in 12.7 minutes per tilt.

JUNE 8 • ROTOWIRE

Sees 10 minutes in win Han chipped in four points (2-2 FG), two rebounds and one assist in 10 minutes during Wednesday's 97-82 win over the Tempo.

Impact Han has played a very modest role to open the season for the Liberty, but she has made the most of her minutes. She's shooting 53.5 percent from the field with averages of 5.5 points and 2.3 rebounds in 13.2 minutes per game.

JUNE 4 • ROTOWIRE

Boost in playing time Monday Xu closed with eight points (4-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, two assists, one block and two steals over 16 minutes during Monday's 81-74 loss to the Fire.

Impact Satou Sabally left early with an illness Monday, which helped allow Xu to handle her most playing time in her last five appearances. Xu, who has averaged 4.9 points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 13.6 minutes per game over seven contests this season, could again see an expanded role if Sabally is unavailable for Wednesday's tilt against the Mercury.

MAY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Sees 26 minutes in win Han finished with four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds, one block and one steal in 26 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 98-93 win over Washington.

Impact After a standout preseason, Xu has played a key role to open the regular season. Through two games, she's averaging 24.0 minutes per contest with 6.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.0 blocks on a combined 5-of-13 shooting from the field.

MAY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Leading scorer as reserve Han recorded 20 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), two rebounds, two blocks, an assist and a steal in 22 minutes during Saturday's 109-91 preseason loss to Indiana.

Impact Han came off the bench during Saturday's preseason opener, but she led the Liberty in scoring behind an efficient showing from the floor and perfect production from the charity stripe. The 26-year-old hasn't appeared in the WNBA across the past two seasons but could earn an Opening Night roster spot with New York ahead of the 2026 campaign, especially after Saturday's strong performance.
